berries

tomatoes

I also dehydrate tomatoes.

root-cellaring instructions

In the following harvest and storage instructions, "root cellar" means a place that stays above freezing, but below 40 degrees and is very humid whereas "attic" means a place that stays a bit warmer, 40-55 degrees or so, and is dry.

• cabbages
• carrots
• garlic
• leeks
• onions
• potatoes
• pumpkins
• rutabagas
• shallots

dehydrating (with equivalents)

Dried foods make great use of limited storage space.

• dry beans (navy, cannellini, and pinto)
• green beans
• bell peppers
• celery
• dry corn (popcorn or field corn for corn meal)
• herbs (basil, chives, mints, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, etc.)
