Onions.

Due to all this rain is it best to lift onions or leave them and hope they do not rot

Have the leaves fallen over yet? I have most of mine lifted at this stage.. Couple of rows left to do...

[anthonyjb]

Yes the leaves have fallen over but they are still green and firm

Thank you

The leaves of mine have just fallen over but I'm leaving them a bit longer yet as they're still very green.

[newboy74]

then,for shallots how long do you leave them on the surface? won't something eat them if I leave them lying around at night?

[rustylady]

If you have lifted them out of the ground then take them home and put them on a rack somewhere dry and airy Newboy

[newboy74]

thanks, I'll go and get them in now before something snaffles them.

Sorry for asking another seemingly stupid question but I really have looked on t'internet and can't find the answer:

Can shallots be eaten/cooked straight from the garden or do they need to be stored for a few months first?

any answer much appreciated

Well I'd use them straight from garden, but of course you can dry and store them also, but that's just me.
