LIFT ONIONS

-

Once onion tops turn yellow, it’s a sign the bulbs are ripening, and when they turn brown and bend over, your crops are ready to harvest. It’s best to lift them in the morning when temperatur­es aren’t too hot. Dig around the plants carefully with a fork and pull them up, keeping the tops intact. Gently shake excess soil from the bulbs and leave them to dry thoroughly for two to three weeks, spread out on a clean, dry surface in an airy garage or shed.
