Storing Shallots?
« on: August 01, 2012, 07:15 »
Last year was a disaster - I thought I had dried them enough and then stored in plastic basket in garage. When we came to use them they were just a soggy gloopy mess. So extra drying this year. But how to store do I try the basket again or hang them in old tights. Any other suggestions?
Taken over neglected veg garden at new home. Enemy number 1 Ground Elder. Then there is the furry terror - bunnies - to contend with!
Made a start have beds established but moved in too late for serious planting. We shall see what 2015 brings.

store in cool, lit area. Potatoes in the dark, onions in the light. Pickle some in Nov for Christmas.
