Grow the Best Root Crops (E-Book Projects)Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers relied on their root cellars for delicious, nutritious winter meals. Today, the root cellar seems like something from a bygone age, something sadly antiquated in our fast-food, TV-dinner society. No wonder fewer gardeners grow root crops these days. Too bad. Root crops don’t deserve the bad rep. They produce large yields in limited space, and most are easy to grow. They are some of the first vegetables harvested in the spring, and some of the last in the garden come winter. Many can be stored right in their beds under a thick mulch, to be harvested as needed all winter long. Their true versatility, however, is best experienced in the kitchen! This e-book describes how to grow and use the best root crops! |
