I'm excited to see how things continue to progress with your plans. I think you'll have some truly beautiful pictures of LOTS of produce come mid-summer.Ardiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101688539011186794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974814057468414039.post-44699088190720921982009-03-23T12:24:00.000-06:002009-03-23T12:24:00.000-06:00Building a root cellar would be great if we actual...Building a root cellar would be great if we actually owned this property...unfortunately, it's the mortuary's, and while they really give us a lot of ability to do what we want, that may not be on their list of necessities! I do have an area in my basement that is housing a queen sized bed right now--for when family visits from out of state, but it's only used a few times a year, so I'm debating whether to convert it into more food storage shelving or not. I guess we'll see how our harvest goes...<BR/>BTW, don't be too inspired by me. My contribution to the manual labor is quite minimal compared to Mike's. I'm glad he enjoys working in the garden, or we probably wouldn't have one this year!Jonesyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524291508991901570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974814057468414039.post-82992149575029634212009-03-22T22:32:00.000-06:002009-03-22T22:32:00.000-06:00You are brave.

I do have a 12'x12' strawberry patch with blueberries I planted at the back of it, and a 2'x8' raspberry patch, so that puts me at what, 288 ft sq. TOTAL? LOL. If you have room on your property you might consider building an actual root cellar. There are plans on-line for them. Otherwise you're going to run outta room my friend! You are inspiring. I could hardly weed my strawberry patch while I was pregnant.Fiddlefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330816256210065026noreply@blogger.com
