@sowrightseeds: HOW TO CURE Curing allows the outer layers of the onions to dry out before storing. Place the onions in a dry, well ventilated area for 2 to 3 weeks until the top of the neck is completely dry and the outer skin is brittle. TIPS Good airflow is crucial so that the outer layers dry to a papery skin. You can brush off excess dirt, but don’t wash the onions. If they are stored when wet, the onions will rot. Once they have completely cured, then you can cut the tops off 1 to 2 inches above the bulb, or leave the tops on if you want to braid them. #onions #onionseeds #gardentips #dryingonions #homesteading #preserving #curing #foodstorage #wintergarden #grownfromseed
