At our house, we've been focusing more on growing food in our garden that will not only feed us during the growing season, but into the fall and winter as well. While we do some winter vegetable gardening under low tunnels, this generally means growing vegetables that will store well after you harvest them. These include:
- Apples
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Jerusalem artichokes
- Beets
- Cabbage
- Parsnips
- Leeks
- Rutabaga
- Turnips
While many older homes were equipped with some type of root cellar, it's probably a good assumption that most people don't have one now. And while you could put in a bit of time and effort to wall off a section of an unheated basement to make a root cellar, there is an even easier way.
