gtsk4 said: I pulled my onions. The smaller ones on the left were started from bulbs 129 days ago. On the right, 220 days ago. I placed a tape measure for size reference. As you can see, the stalks are thick and I wasn't going to wait any longer for them to fall over and hope the bulbs would get larger. As I mentioned earlier, I need the space for my squash, zucchini and cucumbers.

Anyways, how long should I cure them and where?

Those are green onions. Best use is immediate, but they will remain edible for close to two weeks in the refrigerator vegetable drawer. Yon can cut them up and freeze them in small containers for use in cooked dishes like soups and stews. You can also cut them up and dehydrate them. Use is also limited to cooked dishes. Back in the 70's I did a lot of experimenting with dehydration. Even conducted a few work shops. Onions were a lot of work and dehydrated onions were not very popular.
Bottom Line: They are not mature enough to cure and store.
