As for the onions, did you dry them before storing in the garage? Onions when harvested can be dried on top of the soil in the sun or put on drying racks (I use my cooking racks), the bulbs do seem to need an air flow round them to prevent the rot, this is why they are usually strung up to store - Here's some great instructions on how to do this on <a href="http://veggies-only.blogspot.com/2006/08/how-to-string-onions.html" title="How to String Onions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Matron's Blog</a>. Otherwise check the garage is dry, i.e. do you get condensation on the windows, if so there's moisture in the air which will encourage rot. Good luck for 2012! Best Wishes Tracey Hi Beverley and Nick,

This being our first year on our allotment, we needed all the valuable advice we could get. Just a quick question, we have grown onions last year red and white, very successfully, but have found that when cut open, they are wet and rotten around the outside and this part of the onion cannot be used. I presume this must be something to do with the way they are stored, which at present is in a dry cold garage. Any suggestions? Tracey,
