How are your stored veg doing??

[Nicos]

I keep mine in the cellar and have potatoes,shallots, a few onions, courgette ( marrows really!) and winter squash keeping well.
Plenty to keep us going for a couple more months at least

How is everyone else doing with theirs??

[Thelma Sanders]

Onions are all gone, potatoes have started sprouting - but only a few left now.
Still got about 18 squash, I had to use the butternuts quickly as they started to go 'spotty' but the other varieties looking good

I only grow early and second early tatties while they are expensive in the shops.
Onions are hanging nicely in the basement, everything else is in the freezer.

[Bren In Pots]

We eaten the last tomatoes just before Christmas so everything else is either in the freezer, jars or dried.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Shallots still going strong - they've been brilliant, much better than any onions I've grown in the past and I must grow them again this year!

Potatoes still in the sacks in the garage are fine, and half a dozen spaghetti squash in the blowaway (which I don't like much... )

[Samurailord]

Still got enough small potatoes to last through February, French and runner beans galore in the freezer, the last pumpkin has started to grow white spots but is still ok - will probably be peeled, roasted and frozen this weekend.

Still got loads of leeks and chillis in the freezer too.

Everything else has already gone.

Oh yes - forgot about the french beans in the freezer!

How are you storing the courgettes?

Dont they go all rubbery?

[Thelma Sanders]

Oh! didn't include my French & runner beans, peas and tomatoes in the freezer - or the jarred stuff (pasta sauces and peppers) and dried beans.

[Snadger]

I've still got toms ripening on the plants! Onions are doing better this year as they are just stored on the shed bench.
Don't bother storing majority of stuf just dig or cut it fresh when needed.Dug the last tatties a couple of days ago. Calabrese is still going stong along with swedes,sprouts and leeks.

How are you storing the courgettes?

They are stored in the dark in a box just resting on top of each other.

What I find is that the skins go hard and then the flesh starts to dry out.
At the moment they are just tough skinned.

As I mentioned they are more marrow sized so maybe that helps??

Can't use the skin to eat ...just the pulp, but it cooks as if it has been freshly cut from the plant!

I've 4 squash left, still loads of runners in the freezer - as well as some shelled beans. Oh, and a *load* of dried beans that I could use, but I'm planning on replanting them

[binley100]

Pumpkin and squashes still fine, coming to the end of the tatties just as they're starting to sprout, still got brassicas, leeks swede and celeriac in ground and stuff in the freezer .

[Paulieb]

Still a few onions, lots of garlic, and most of my remaining potatoes are shooting. All except for the Cara, which I've got a few kilos of still, they're not showing any signs of sprouting at the moment, fingers crossed!!

[Tripmeup]

Still have onions, potato onions, lots of garlic, one spaghetti squash, turnips....
In the freezer are sweetcorn, beans, tomatoes and chillis...
Not to mention all the jarred stuff..
