Nope. I do know better than that. I have a cloth bag specifically for the
potatoes to keep the light out. I quit buying onions in bulk. They just
sprout too quickly here. I used to have an onion bin. Had three
compartments for three kinds. Loved the thing and worked for me in NY but
not here. I now keep what few extra onions I have in the fridge. I buy as
needed but always try to keep at least one extra of the yellow and red.
Perhaps two extra white ones.
