Hello Everyone!<\/p>\n
With four more winter drop offs left to go I think our winter CSA experiment has been doing quite well! Although I have to admit harvesting has been getting quite chilly now that winter has finally arrived. Hopefully, for next year we will be able to expand our numbers a little as we are installing some more effective winter storage for our winter root veggies.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, I was going to suggest to all those storing winter crops to improve your storage:<\/p>\n
1. Make sure you are rotating the freshest in and the oldest produce out.<\/p>\n
2.Make sure that you are inspecting your stored veggies regularly, at least once a week, for mold or rot. If you catch a bad veggie quickly it will lower your risk of contaminating your other veggies.<\/p>\n
3. Keep squash and onions in a cool dry location.<\/p>\n
4. If you have a lot of root veggies,\u00a0(ie.carrots, parsnips, beets)\u00a0storing them in the basement in sand is the best way to keep them from going soft.<\/p>\n
Hope this helps you keep your winter feast beautiful!<\/p>\n
Cheers, Jess<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
