As veggies tend to ripen at different times, one usually receives a lot of one or few types of veggies at a time. Some don't like that. My neighbor and I do this each year. We look for creative ways to use certain veggies and can or freeze what we can for the winter months.
I miss the root cellar my parents had in their home
We kept apples, carrots, potatoes and squash for several months in that cool, dark, dry space. MMM MMM good
