Store nuts in the shell until you are ready to use them. Refrigerate or freeze any that you plan to keep for more than three months.
Onions

Store whole onions in a cool, dark place away from moisture. For bulk storage, cut the legs off of a pair of pantyhose; drop an onion into one of the legs, and tie it off. Then, drop in another onion and tie it off again. Continue doing this until the legs are full. Then, hang
Note: Potatoes give off a gas that ripens onions, so be sure to store them separately.
