Excellent ideas on Root Cellars
Don't be fooled by writers who give carrots, for example, a mere 7-14 days in the refrigerator, even when wrapped in plastic bags. If your not the queen, you can handle eating carrots after months in a cool spot, and if they are rubbery after a certain time, you can boil or fry them up to gather in their vitamins. You can preserve them as relishes in vinegar at any time if you don't like how they have come to taste in the fresh state, or cook them in broths/stews. Beets 4-5 months Broccoli 1-2 weeks Brussels Sprouts 3-5 weeks Cabbage (long keeper) Chinese Cabbage 1-2 months Carrots 4-6 months Cauliflower 2-4 weeks Celery (long keeper) Chives (not a root-cellar crop) Collards 1-2 weeks Cucumbers 2-3 weeks Eggplant 1-2 weeks Horse Radish (long keeper) Jerusalem Artichokes 1-2 months Kohlrabi (long keeper) Leeks N/A Onions (good keeper) Parsnips 1-2 months Pepper (good keeper) Sweet Potatoes (long keeper) Potatoes 4-6 months Pumpkin (good keeper) Radishes 2-3 months Rutabagas 2-4 months Salsify (good keeper) Soybeans (long keepers) Squash 4-6 months Tomatoes 1-2 months Turnips (long keepers)
