Potato
1. Store healthy potatoes in a dark, dry place. Once you’ve separated the damaged potatoes from the undamaged ones, put the latter in a spot that’s not exposed to light or moisture. These things can cause greening and/or rotting.
2. Keep the temperature cool. Potatoes keep best at temperatures less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. For maximum storage length, potatoes should remain between 35-40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Onion
1. The onions that harvest in the spring and summer are not hardy enough to store. They should be eaten within a few weeks of harvesting. Plan to store onions that are harvested in the fall, since these varieties are able to last through the winter.
2. Choose a cool, dark place to store your onions. The space should have a temperature maintained between 40 to 50° Fahrenheit. If the space is too warm, your onions will begin to sprout. If the location you chose is too cold, the onions will start to rot.
3. Keep the storage space dry. Onions easily absorb moisture, and the wetness in the air will rot your produce. The humidity level should be kept at 65 to 70 percent.
4. The following varieties of globe onions do well in long-term storage:
- Yellow onions such as Ebenezer, yellow globe, downing yellow globe, and yellow globe Danvers.
- White onions such as Southport white globes. These should only be stored if their necks are small.
- Red onions including Wethersfield and Southport red globe.
