My onions have just gone over. I always seem to have trouble with curing them, so I'd like some advice. I've just taken this piccy to show the state of play. Do they need to be left for the tops to go more yellow? If so how long? The necks still look rather thick. Last year, after lifting them, I dried them for a few weeks on a rack outside, but they still didn't seem to cure properly and I ended up having to freeze a lot. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

I planted around 600 dets of different yellow, red and white onions in late April. They have exceeded all expectations and grown like mad.
Last week, i thought the bulbs looked nice and large so i started pulling them for eating. If i need an onion or two for dinner, i pop down the lotty and pull a couple. I'm not sure ive done it right, they haven't gone over and ive not lifted any to dry...i just pull them when i want to eat them (or give them away) !!!!Please visit my facebook page for the garden i look after
