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.
