Onions, Shallots, and Garlic

Mid-July: Time to harvest and cure the allium crops


Onions, shallots and garlic need to sit out in a shady, dry, and well ventilated spot for a period of days in order for them to be stored throughout the year. We used the large flatbed of a trailer in one of the barns. Cole also planted the hearty kale and collard greens at this time. These crops can withstand the fall and winter temperatures.

We are going to try storing them in the pantry where the temperature is cooler
