Awesome job with the root veggies. None of mine came out this year. Potatoes never even flowered.

Parsnip

It’s been a while since I’ve grown parsnips, but I saw a contestant on the Great British Bake Off make a parsnip cake (as opposed to a carrot cake), and that’s got me itching to grow them again.

How are you going to store all that goodness? Looks fantastic.

onions i’ll use quick. about 1/3 of the potatoes will be stored with my dahlia tublers as seed potatoes. been pulling handfulls for meals the past few months. the rest will be eaten at thanksgiving. the carrots and parsnips i’m trying out hay in cardboard boxes this year.

the past two i did milk crates lined with a trash bag, then layered play sand over the carrots. so there was enough separation between each carrot to prevent rot from spreading. it works really well but it’s a pain to move those crates around.

Thanks I recently purchased a lot of land so I’m going to be scaling up my garden substantially. Winter squashes are easy but I always struggle with root veggies. You just keep them in a cold corner of your basement and had good luck?

i’ve got a heater in my garage keeping it about 45*f all winter, but a cool corner in a basement would work as well. depends on your region too. some folks are lucky enough to just leave the root vegies in the ground over winter.
