Root Cellar Storage for Mixed Vegetables: What Keeps, What Doesn't

Cool (32–40°F), dry, dark cellar with pallet floor extends storage.

Storage Life

• Onions, winter squash: 3–6 months.
• Carrots, beets: 2–4 months (or freeze).
• Green beans: freeze or can.
• Tomatoes: can, freeze, or dry (cellar too warm).
• Kohlrabi: 1–2 months.

Sort weekly; remove any spoiling. "Cool and dry" is the mantra.
