She says it is very important to determine correctly when to harvest the onion, because there are no specific dates. The factors that affect the time limits, many – varieties, planting in winter or spring, as well as growing conditions give ripening at different times. That is why it is important to carry out a visual inspection of the bulbs.
If you see that the neck has become thin and soft, the pen lies on the plant and begins to turn yellow, and the husk, which is already visible from the ground, is dry, then you can take to dig. The main thing is not to wait for the rains, otherwise the neck begins to absorb moisture, and the onion itself is to rot. The best option is to collect the vegetable a little more green and let it lie with the feathers. The main condition for better storage is to stop watering 2 weeks before collection. It is strictly forbidden to pull onions from the ground, you just need to dig. The reason is simple – if the bud is detached or damaged during the eruption, then the onion is likely to rot and disappear.
With uneven ripening of onions can be dug selectively, and if you notice that there is a lot of earth on the bulbs, then leave them to dry, then without problems with your hands, without damaging the husk. It is strictly forbidden to beat the bulbs against each other or on any objects to remove the lumps of the earth. If you do so, you may not count on strength, and a strong blow will cause damage and decay. Immediately after digging the feathers should not be cut – it is better to leave for 1-2 days to dry in the sun.

Then for one week transports vegetables to a dark place with good ventilation and air circulation. When the bulbs are dry well, the stems will be closed so that the fungi do not get inside, the feathers can be cut, leaving 4 cm on top, as well as cutting the roots.
