It was such a good Summer for apples last year, I am still checking these
Bramleys which I have stored in the garage. They need cold and dark, along with a good circulation of air. Here you can see that I found some wonderful plastic trays in a garden center - just perfect for the job!
Another storage success were these Winter squash. On the left was an acorn squash
'Table Queen' and on the right was '
Delicata' which is also known as a sweet potato squash. Both of them had a wonderful firm sweet texture. I have several more of each of these and they are wonderful keepers! Many thanks to
Petunias Garden who gave me these seeds during a visit to Washington State in 2007.
I saved some of my smaller
shallots 'Pikant' from last year's harvest. They kept wonderfully well hung up in a dry shed in this sack - actually it's one of my late Father's string vests with the bottom sown up!! perfect for the job.
