Onion Harvest and Curing Process #shorts

Here’s how we cure our onion harvest for long term storage. Your homegrown onions can store incredibly well and feed your family on a year round basis, but only if they are cured properly first.

Can you show how you "braid" your onions into bunches like you show hanging? Thank you!

Nothing is better in this world than hearing someone speak passionately about something. Even if it's about a simple onion.

In threw some old onions in the flower bed to compost two winters ago and now I have a recurring onion patch. My air conditioner drips on them in summer and that is the only care they receive. . I have onions to eat and it was all by accident. I love how hearty they are even able to survive the harsh Colorado winters and summers pretty much on their own. They seem to be happiest under a few inches of spring snow.

Thank you for teaching me this. I've never understood why and how they tie them up like that. Also the beauty in seeing all the different varieties you've grown. Just wow.

It's amazing that what I had as a kid (my grandma and almost everyone was doing this) is slowly coming back. I'm 43 and the last time I saw this I was like 10.
Thank you for bringing me such sweet memories

A friend used to keep his onions in a net that was strung between the rafters of his garage (like a hammock). He grew many different varieties. He also grew garlic and stored his garlic heads in the same way.

I’d love to get into gardening before having kids so when they are born I can teach them how to do it too. That way, hopefully, they would organically understand concepts like patience and relativity after helping me plant and treat each plant differently ☺️

For those who don't have a rack like that....chain link fence in the shade.

Now this is worthy content.. informative, to the point and interesting. Much better than all the shock value content being stuffed down our throats

I'm new to growing home grown crops and was thinking about growing onions but afraid of wasting some if I grew too much. See this video gave me confidence to grow them and excited to do so, now knowing they can last that long

Those are very large & healthy looking onions there!

Literally couldn’t live without onions 😂 favourite food

I still remember as a kid when we were helping my grandparents, who at the time were living in the countryside and were growing most of their food, doing this process. The onions would easily last for a full year if you kept them in a cool, usually underground, room.

This will help me with my first ever onion harvest this year, thanks.

[BrightestBlessings]

I have about 15 onions still hanging in my closet. Thank you for making everything I did make sense.

What a lesson! Why do you not use the green part, which is so good?
I love onions! Almost every dish needs it! No wonder you created such great conditions to preserve it in best shape for as long as possible! Of all vegetables, it matters most!

[hera]

Yep, my onions lasted a whole year. I still had onions from last year when the time came to harvest the new onions. It was wonderful

[nickdirienzo]

Thank you for the video! It's been very informative. I've never grow enough to not use. Italian/Mexican. But now I know what to do. Cheers!

How do you handle onions going to flower then seed?

How are you perpetuating your crop? From seed or from starter onion?

How do you use this years crop to start next years crop?

And…. Great video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
