Growing crops is one of the best things about farming. Even better is being able to store and eat them from October to April. We don’t have a root cellar, we store our squash, onions, and potatoes in the garage on the wall of the furnace room. I think the heated wall stops the moisture from rotting the harvest. The beets are left in the ground covered with leaves, most of the potatoes remain in the ground under the dirt. So far it has worked for us! In the freezer we have corn, blackberries, plums and blueberries. The apples are also in the garage, I continually refill the crisper drawer in the fridge. I think I have enough apples remaining to make it to the end of February. The soft apples are used for apple cider vinegar and turkey feed. Nothing is wasted!
