Harvesting and storing onions

Since I wrote the post about starting to harvest our onions, shallots and garlic, I’ve had a number of emails from people asking about onion harvesting and storage.

The first thing I have to tell them is that in many ways it’s too late to start thinking about harvesting and storage now as many of the decisions have to be made before the crops go in.

So, I’ll wind the clock back to the start of the process and work my way through that before detailing the final means of storage.
