I agree, its light exposure. I’ve
seen it happen before. Leaving on as much dry skin as possible is good. Better
storage is better. Less multi-tasking is desired by all, especially this time
of year. Pressure never seems to let up though. Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Beth Spaugh But, the cloves had separated, and the
skin peeled back on some of the cloves, exposing the actual cloves, which are
greening. It is a management issue I’m sure since it is only on the
top layer in the bushel baskets, and they were in a “tarp carport”
and then put in the hoophouse for shelter from Irene so have had fairly bright
light. Addendum – just out in the
hoophouse, and found a bushel of onions with same thing happening. First,
I think the hoophouse is too light for them. Second, I have an employee
who is very tactile and does a superior job of cleaning skins off. More
than I’d like off, but we have such a short crop this year that I decided
they’d be sold/eaten before it became a storage issue. Beth Spaugh http://rhomestead.com

On Behalf Of Road's End Farm That is very strange; or else my garlic is very strange. I routinely
store garlic exposed to light for long periods and have never had it green like
potatoes. Anyone else? Which of us has the odd situation? -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale On Sep 14, 2011, at 9:50 PM, Beth Spaugh wrote: It is greening from sunlight, like exposed
