Sure feels like fall today. Wind is blowing, a drizzle coming down and temps in the 50s. Sends a bit of urgency through me as I try to get the garden done and put to bed. Today I've gotten the pumpkins and squash in the cellar.
There are onions and garlic hanging from the rafters, sauerkraut fermenting in the crock, a bushel of apples and some potatoes put down there
The shelves are filling fast with home canned treasures. My grocery store under the floor!
Beets and rutabagas, kale and cabbage are still in the garden. Anyone have any advice as to the best way to store beets, rutabagas and cabbage in the cellar? My cabbages usually dry out to a hollow, dusty ball. Beets and rutabagas eventually rot, never lasting more than a couple of months.
Happy harvesting.
