I also ran out of onions, mainly because so many rotted. I thought I'd done something wrong but my gardener friend told me today that last year was a terrible year for onions as it rained every day during July and August.
I did consider canning but it seemed a little beyond my limited capabilities.
I look forward to following your progress this season.
I didn't have a single one rot! I was really surprised, they lasted very well. Supposedly a variety that does that. My potatoes, another variety is stores well, are just starting to get a little soft.
I remember that you pressure can stuff, no? Am I thinking of someone else?
You're thinking of someone else. I'm Mrs Freeze everything in sight. How did you store the onions?
In a back closet that stays pretty cold, in paper bags. Potatoes too, amaryllis, canna, everything. I don't like freezing stuff it does not taste good when I thaw it. Slimy sometimes. Berries I freeze, meats I buy frozen, chix broth and pet food are the only things in my freezer.
