Sorting and Cleaning Onions

Each year as Ken harvests onions, we place them on racks to cure.   Here is the rack of curing onions.

 

 

 

 

Once we need the space for winter squash, I pull dried tops and rob off dirt, and sort onions by size.

 

 

 

 

The dried tops go to compost or chicken bedding

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Empty racks ready for squash

 

 

 

 

 

And sorted onions that will be brought into the coldest, driest part of the house once cold weather is here

 

 

 

 

It’s a dusty job!
