Did You Know.....Onions

Did You Know.....Onions

Onions:

It is easy to reap a full year's worth of this kitchen staple from just a few rows in the garden.

Harvest season is early summer to fall.

How do you know when it is ripe? The green tops flop over in midsummer, signaling that onions have reached full size. For your scallions, harvest them when shoots reach about 10 to 12 inches.

Test Garden Tip: Cure storage onions in a shady area or garage for a few weeks. Once skins are dry, cut off the tops and store in a cool place indoors.

They are so good and love the smell of them sauteing in butter. :) Thanks for the onion information Kristin. Hope you're doing okay - it's not good to want a Guinness so early in the day. :)
