The Pit! OK, where is Deborah? A little pic heavy........
Today was a lovely day in the 60s. WOW! First one. I decided to open the pit and see how things. fared. Fortunately the gophers didn't find it.

The cabbage did come through. We had one for dinner. It was good.
I only had one turnip and it looks great. I think I am going to plant if for seed. Had potatoes for dinner too. They were the best! The carrots look great, and I am sure they will taste good too. Beets too, I will be curious to taste them to see if they are still sweet. I will plant a couple beets for seed too.
The ground was very wet. I used the shovel until I got down to the veggies, then put on rubber gloves and got the veggies out by hand.. Any way, we are set for veggies for a few days. Some of the potatoes I will plant this year.

There you go, Jal!
I remember when you stored those veggies in the pit.
Confirmation for me that this would work well with potatoes! I am encouraged -- my basement room is too warm, they sprout and have to be used by the end of January.
Thank you!

Jal, I, too, remember the thread where you were burying everything. Like Apps, I was wondering how the cabbage would fare. Looks like it worked great!
Have you ever tried this with onions?
I was thinking about your pit a few days ago and had an idea of my own. Why not take a clean garbage can, load it up, put a trash bag over it, then bury it sideways under ground?
Now, when spring comes (or mid-winder if you get really hungry), dig it up, pull of the trash back, and you have your can-o-veggies....as clean as the day you put it in the ground.
Then you can just take it in the house and sift through all the treasure. What do you think?
