Great info - do you long term store you potatoes & carrots? would love any advice you have on those. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks! For potatoes, my process is similar. I harvest, brush off excess dirt and then put them on that same screen in the barn I used for the onions. I let them sit here for about a week before moving into storage. I keep them in crates in our basement. The ideal situation for curing potatoes is in a dark, well-ventilated area, 65F and high humidity for 7-10 days. Then stored at about 45F in a dark, well ventilated area. I don't have anything like that, so I just do the best I can!

For carrots, I harvest, brush off excess dirt (but do not clean off fully) and cut off the greens. I then put them in a plastic bag, wrapped loosely in a damp paper towel (don't close the bag) and store in crisper drawer of the fridge. They keep for months this way. I've read that the ideal storage for carrots is to store them in a bin of damp sand in a cool, dark basement, but I've not had a chance to try this yet.

Jenna, need some advice, I have a boatload of onions and garlic that have cured in my shed but the August heat is pretty intense we don’t have a root cellar in our basement and garage is too hot for long-term storage. Do you have any advice for long-term storage? We have an air-conditioned area that may work but can we pile the onions on top of each other in a wire basket, same for garlic, or do they need space to breathe?

Thank you sir! I always grow Patterson onion. It's not the largest, but it's extremely reliable and I've not had anything beat it for long term storage. Those kittens are rotten... in the best way. We are getting such a kick out of having them around! I had to laugh because I had just mentioned putting the onions up on the trampoline because curious pets can't get at them, when up jumped both kitties. But they have enough sense not to chew on them... unlike the puppies!

From your instructions, I could see that mine were just right for harvesting. I now have them drying out in my garage on shelves and a home-made rack. It’s all the little tips and the detailed advice, that makes your video so very helpful. Thank you.

My family always stores onions in panty hose hung from the ceiling. Simply dropping a onion in, come up two or three inches and tie a knot. Then drop in the next onion and repeat until completely full. The knot keeps the onions separated and allows you to cut the bottom onion off with a pair of scissors. I hope this helps

Thank you, three years later, I have been revisiting this video since I grew onions for the first time this season and just harvested. My garage is so hot these days in central PA, and also gets the pm sun if I leave the door open for circulation, that I opted for the basement on top of milk crates, where I have a fan and a dehumidifier. Do you think this will work? It’s only about 65 down there, but 45% humidity, and it seemed to work for the garlic on racks…..it should also be good for storage?

Came here to learn how to cure the onions so can ship to Philippines, which takes 2 months by sea. Onions are very expensive there. Sounds like you recommend the Patterson onion for the long term storage. I'm going to try, though not sure about the temperature during shipping. I can imagine in the shipping container it gets pretty hot at sea. Loved the video-bombing kitties coming in right after you suggesting the trampoline to prevent pets from dragging off the onions, lol.

I live in Southeast Georgia & I planted my onions in October and they are ready here nearing the end of March. The problem is the weather isn’t 80-90 degrees with the higher humidity like it is when I harvest my summer crop. I have an enclosed workshop that is conditioned space usually between 70-73 degrees and humidity 55-60%. Will they still cure if left drying in workshop?

How do you store your onions, Jenna? I cure them and put them in the basement. It’s around 65 in there in summer (cool air from A/C pools down there), and more like 55 in winter. Not ideal, but the longer storage varieties last though Jan/Feb.
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna 2 жыл бұрын
I also put mine in my basement. Like yours, mine is not perfectly ideal, but it's the best spot I have (I think it's probably around 65). I usually braid and hang mine or put them in bins with mesh openings. My storage times depend on the variety-- I've got a few varieties that will last a year (I always grow Patterson or Copra for this reason), but many of them are in the 6 to 8 month range.

Hey Jenna...I need to actually grow smaller onions than what my garden normally produces. I am serious here. If I wait until the top droops, I will end up with softball sized onions. These usually result in me using half and onion as tossing the rest. I am the only one who eats them so I am looking for a smaller onion for soups and recipes for one person. Do you think I should start pulling them when they are baseball sized, which be the perfect size? Put them in a cool shaded spot for curing? Appreciate your thoughts.

Hi, I’m seeing that roughly half of my onions are flopping over so I’m almost ready to harvest. I’m nervous though as my days are still 90+ degrees. I plan to dry them on a pallet in the shade outside but I’m wondering if it will be too hot? I could move them into the garage with a small fan, but I’m also worried this may be too hot as my garage doesn’t have any air conditioning. It’s my first time with this so I appreciate any input you can provide. Any thoughts?

@blenderbenderguy Жыл бұрын
This is a guess, haven't researched it yet, but leaving the tops on until fully cured would likely insure that moisture and microorganisms are kept at bay. When the tops are fully dry and tight they can be removed and an incursion by moisture and microorganisms would then be minimal to nil.

After the 4 weeks you mention, where they're now ready for storage, are the leaves still good at all for green onions? Or will cutting them mess with the storage life of the onions? Thanks.
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna 2 жыл бұрын
The foliage will be completely dried down and brown at this point- unfortunately not great for eating. Cutting them before that curing/dry down period is finished will mess with the storage life.

It is not the optimal time to harvest if you're planning on long term storage. However, if you just want to harvest the onion and use it relatively soon (within a couple of weeks), you could certainly go ahead!

My husband and I are house and kitty-sitting for friends who have a wonderful vegetable garden...since I'm a total novice, but in charge of said garden while they're gone, I am learning to do garlic and onion harvesting for long term storage. I have a question regarding your above response to removing the greens before curing...do the greens stay on only until curing is complete, and then get cut off for storing? Thanks in advance for your help! Will subscribe and like.

Tried onions for the first time this year. Most disappeared and the ones that were left were so tiny! I thought I’d try overwintering some but it looks like I needed to start my seeds before now. I just sunk in some beet, spinach and carrot seeds in open spaces yesterday so I’m out of space outdoors at this point. At least, I’m out of space until my potatoes come up, 4-5 weeks? away. If I buy sets and put them in is that too late?

Sorry to hear that! I've not tried planting from sets for overwintering. The trouble I could see with many sets is that often they're not labeled as a specific variety (rather, just 'red', 'white' or 'yellow')- so you don't really know if you're getting a variety suitable for overwintering. Johnny's Seeds does offer one variety of set specifically for overwintering www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetables/onions/onion-plants/forum-fall-f1-onion-sets-2520F.html so I'd be tempted to go with this one if you'd like to do sets.

They're in starter trays and I'm about to transplant them into individual containers. Should I be concerned with the tops laying down???

Most reputable sources will give you this information- but it depends on where you got your onions.

@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna 11 ай бұрын
Corn is wind pollinated and if one receives very windy or rainy weather during pollen drop OR the weather is very hot, dry or cold it can interfere with pollination leading to a lack of kernel development. Also, if corn is planted in one long line rather than in a block of at least 3-4 rows it can sometimes lead to insufficient pollination.

I doubt you'll see this comment three years after your video, but, I have a question I'm hoping you can answer. I always understood that larger onions, cured and stored properly, last longer than small onions, cured and stored properly. All things being equal, is that true?
@GrowfullywithJenna
@GrowfullywithJenna 10 ай бұрын
It's completely dependent on the variety. For instance, a small 'Patterson' onion will last much longer in storage than a large 'Candy' onion. In theory, all things being equal (if we're dealing with onions which are all the same variety) a larger onion SHOULD store longer because it has more carbohydrate reserves to pull from in storage. However, I can tell you from experience that I've had very small onions which have lasted in a year in storage, and large ones which have barely made it 6 months. Sorry- that's not a cut and dry answer... but thing gardening related rarely are cut & dry 😄

Hi Thomas- most sweet onions are not great for storage (they don't compare to the hard, pungent storage onions at any rate). I've had the best luck with 'Candy' and 'Alisa Craig', both have nice fresh flavor and properly cured & stored have lasted me 3-4 months.
@GrowfullywithJenna

Oh also, @Thomas List- the best variety for you will depend on where you're growing. If you are in the South, you have a lot of sweet, short-day onion variety options. I'm in a more Northern growing location (Ohio), so I have to stick with long-day or intermediate-day varieties when spring planting.

Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God. Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!! if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection: Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. Place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick, place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15..
