Expert Tips: When and How to Harvest Onions for Optimal Storage

Kyiv, Ukraine – A local gardener, known as VasilyevnaOlesya online, recently shared valuable insights into the optimal time and method for harvesting onions, aiming to help fellow enthusiasts preserve their crops effectively. In a recent video, she demonstrated the process of gathering mature onions, emphasizing a key indicator for readiness: the natural bending of the onion tops. "You should harvest your onions when their tops are already lying on the ground," she advised. "At this point, the onion bulb has absorbed all necessary nutrients and will not grow further. Leaving them in the ground longer, especially with impending rains, can lead to rotting and spoilage." VasilyevnaOlesya also detailed her post-harvesting routine, explaining that she places the freshly picked onions in a greenhouse, spread out in one or two layers in crates. "I turn them over every day," she noted, "This process allows them to dry properly and reach the perfect condition for storage, ensuring they last longer." Her practical tips offer a straightforward guide for gardeners looking to maximize their onion yield's longevity.
