<\/figure>Carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stored in refrigerator. Mostly Purple Haze, a variety I really like. Trimmed off their tops and washed off some slime. They are still good eating. About 2-1\/2 pounds. There are more in the garden to be dug! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hung in a net bag in the pantry. 3-1\/2 pounds left. Not sprouting yet, but I expect they will soon. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Onion, red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A great crop, but coming to an end. Sprouting as you can see. Only about 1-1\/2 pounds left. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Onion, yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still have about 7 pounds! These were in Jeff\u2019s basement, then moved into our utility room in an attempt to keep them cooler. Some sprouting. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Parsnips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sam dug these out of the garden today now that the soil is unfrozen enough. About 15 pounds! Trimmed and froze some with damaged tops. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>Pumpkins and squash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These were in Jeff\u2019s basement. We lost a lot to rot, but we had a lot to begin with. I\u2019ve been striving to process these for the freezer or to eat them, but I can only do so much with that much squash!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Also have about a half pound of non- photogenic leeks in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not to mention quantities of frozen stuff, mostly squash and green beans. We finished the apples today and coming rapidly to the end of the blueberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complaints: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- White onions rotted rapidly. I was glad to see this variety was not in the onion medley sold by Fedco this year. <\/li>
- Small cabbage heads did not store well. Bought cabbage for sauerkraut from Four Seasons Farm instead. Would love to know his cabbage secrets! <\/li>
- Potatoes. We have not figured out how to grow enough potatoes and how to store them properly. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

I feel like we\u2019re moving into survivalist mode, but it\u2019s also probably just the right time of year to do this. I went through most of last year\u2019s crops that are in storage and evaluated how much we have. As usual, some crops were a big success and others not so much. Note: This is… Continue reading Storage crops checkpoint<\/span>
