Wee Be Little pumpkins 2 a week for 20 wks Might be 4 a week as we love molasses custard baked in them also besides just having them with butter melted in them as they roast.
Canned beans. Canned meat. Canned butter. Yes that is soda behind the winter squash. For when I have Crohn's flare ups (ginger soda) or we get sick (sprite) and some coke for when we have guest that doesn't drink tea or coffee. I drink 4 oz a night of coke cola... yes really 4 oz. I like it room temp and flat. Drives Hubby buggy as the bottle sits all week before I finish it. 12 winter squash will last 12 weeks. The red crate is sweet potatoes we bought at auction and the white box is our sweet potatoes the mice left us.
The bottom shelf is the blankets and water for emergency. Shelf up in canned potatoes, mashed potatoes in ice cream container,assorted lentils, quinoa, barley, millet etc. Top shelf is juice bought on sale and odds and end veggies bought for emergency supply.
The white buckets in this room is dehydrated potatoes, hash browns, sliced and diced.The two blue crates in baking potatoes and potatoes about 3 inch diameter or more. The cat litter box is empty and just being used to keep crate off floor.Son cleaned it with bleach before passing to me.Pie plate is what I put potatoes in to bring up to fix for meals. It was my late husband's grandmother's.
Bucket next to crate of potatoes (which is sitting on another bleached cat litter bucket) is ramen noodles. The potatoes are seconds...less than 3 inches, possibly nicked or has a bit of green on them. The nicked/green ones got sorted out and are being used to make dehydrate mashed potato granules. There is about 25-30 lbs per crate of the potatoes.
I would have loved to had more sweet potatoes and delicata squash. BUT I have plenty to get me through the year until next season.
Blessed be

My WalMart often marks sweet potatoes down to really cheap right after Thanksgiving. I have gotten them as low as 15 cents a pound. I bake them in the skins and freeze them. Just thaw and slip the skins off and they are ready to use in recipes. They keep for a year that way.
ReplyDeleteI love your root cellar! We don’t live in an area where we can have one. I do keep a well stocked “pantry” though.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are well stocked!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your storage! When you see it all in one place, it seems like a staggering amount of food. (I have a lot, too). You have yours so well organized. Mine needs work again, as it never stays where I put it once people start digging for things. (myself included!)
ReplyDeleteIt is 12-18 months of food. I organize once a week. Sometimes I feather dust and straighten while flipping laundry to dryer as it's right there. I am bad about sticking condiments in wrong place ;(
