To keep cabbage and potatoes
People in the mountains
a while back had to improvise to keep the food they grew all
winter. We all have heard about root cellars and springhouses,
but here are two unique ways to save cabbage and potatoes that
few flatlanders have heard. To save cabbage, pull it up by the
roots, turn head down and bury back in the ground with only enough
root showing to pull back up. To save potatoes, dig a hole, line
with straw, put in potatoes. Cover with tarpaper and straw and
finally, dirt piled up. This could take the boredom out of pintos
and fatback on a cold winter day.
