Storage Onions!

I want to see them braided too! I can't braid hair even, and when I try my onions it's like 2 hours of trying and failing so I eventually chop the tops and lay them on screen and throw my hands up in the air!!!

me too

Not to worry, I'm thinking of braiding them tomorrow since its going to rain all day. I'm going to sit in the garage and get those onions braided. Its not that hard it does take some time and patience. I will post some pictures tomorrow to show you guys!!

i am trying the Alisa Craig but i am not expecting to get much from them. i started them late and the other 3 varieties i have going are doing much better than them.

Here are pictures of the onion braid as promised . It just takes some time and a little patience. I tied parts of the braid with twine to ensure all the onions would stay in place, then made a loop at the end to hang it. It was a good day today to braid them since it's been raining the whole day, I must say its relaxing to just sit down and do.

I harvested more onions yesterday, looks like I'll do a third braid.
