Storing Fresh Carrots

    Everyone enjoys being able to enjoy those garden fresh carrots year-round.  There are a few different ways you can store your garden's bounty of carrots. Just choose the right one that suits your particular needs.

   If you have an extra refrigerator with some extra room in it that could be one of the most convenient ways.  Simply harvest, scrub, top, and then bag carrots in a plastic bag. Check on the moisture periodically to be sure it's adequate, but not too moist.

    Those people who don't have the luxury of extra fridge space need not fret. All you need to do is dig a hole outside in the ground.   Line the bottom with leaves or straw, throw in the carrots, and pile more straw on top!  Lastly, cover the whole spot with a board of some sort.  This is similar to having your own little root cellar in your backyard!
