Barbara Fick is an extension agent at Oregon State University in the northwestern United States. She says a faster way to grow onions is to plant what are called sets.
芭芭拉·菲克（Barbara Fick）是美国西北部的俄勒冈州立大学的一名推广员。她说，种植洋葱的一种更快的方式是种植所谓的栽子。
BARBARA FICK: "Onion sets are actually small plants, versus starting with a seed. So when you have a set, onion set, it actually is, you know, the small bulb."
菲克：“和从播种开始种植洋葱相比，洋葱栽子实际上是一种幼苗。所以洋葱栽子实际上就是小洋葱。”

The bulbs can be pulled from the ground once their tops have dried and fallen over. Onions can be stored for months. But Barbara Fick says stored onions need to be cured first.
当洋葱鳞茎顶部的叶子干枯、倒伏后，就可以把鳞茎从地里拔出。洋葱可以存放数月。但菲克表示，洋葱储存前必须先干燥。
BARBARA FICK: "Curing is a way of making sure those leaves on the outside are nice and dry."
菲克：“干燥过程是确保洋葱外部的叶子良好、干燥。”
