I leave the tops on and let the stems dry then tie them in bunches and hang them in the shed on nails in the wall. Don't leave them out to be rained on. Don't pile them more tha about 3 layers deep or they will mold. Store them in a cool dry place. I only save the best I dehydrate or freeze the rest.

On a rainy afternoon we will slice or chop enough to fill a big turkey roaster heaping full drizzle the top with olive oil and put in a hot oven, stir occasionally and add olive oil as needed if they seem to be getting dry. When they are done I vacuum pack them in 2 to 3 pound packages and freeze them, Very convenient to use.

Obviously we enjoy our onions we are still eating them from the wall and the freezer.

When the onions on the wall start to get soft we process them.

Ok so it was another very good year at the fair. gas bag Weed is signing off now lol Enjoy
