Potato & Onions?

[Arimeh]

Really Sarah? I think I've read that somewhere too.... interesting..
I wonder if I can keep the potatoes and onions in the cupboard, still in my ice cream container if I try to keep the lid on it? Cos i'm pretty slack when it comes to keeping the lid on (busy busy as you all know)
or maybe its not good for them to be in containers that are plastic??

You could also put them in (seperate) hessian bags in your pantry.

I have a potato bag for my spuds and a onion bag for my onions. They have black plastic lining that stops them from sprouting and going yucky. I got them from one of those homewares mags for about $7 each

Oooohh.. thats a good idea..

My onions live in the bottom of my fridge in the crisper thingy with the garlic. Normal potatos as in the cupboard and we dont eat sweet potato so dont have that But do put pumpkin in the bottom of the fridge also in the crisper section.

All my vegies are kept in the fridge - a habit from living in the hot northern climates

All of them?? even the potato? I don't know if I'll have enough room for all my vegies in the fridge
for the time being though, I've removed them from the "roach" cupboard, and put them in closed ice cream containers, and I'll put them in another cupboard, that hopefully, the roaches can't access (its a newer one so hopefully a little more sealed)
Thanks for everyone's ideas!!!
