should be able to share with the neighbors and still last me through harvest 2025.

onions were larger this year than last. 2023 was cloudy and it rained almost every day in maine. this year we had a lot more sun, heat, and a good amount of rain maybe once a week.

i highly recommend the patterson yellows as they kept in the basement for a whole year for me. purples should keep through the winter.

Do you do anything special in your basement to have onions keep that long? Purples won't last a month for me before becoming soggy.

i dehumidify the basement, about 60% humidity, until october when the air just becomes naturally dry. no temp control in the basement - its 60 degrees down there right now, 50’s in the fall, and 40’s over winter.

some varieties keep better than others. purples in general don’t keep as long. if you are growing from seed, your seed supplier will let you know which varieties store better. i’m very happy with the patterson yellow onions for this reason.
