Let me know how the trash can root cellar works -- I've read about them, like you, but haven't heard any personal accounts.<br /><br />Cottonmouth snakes?! Sounds scary. That's one good thing about MN winters -- it keeps most of the poisonous bugs and critters away.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-69186364263599820402009-09-28T08:33:15.060-05:002009-09-28T08:33:15.060-05:00Wow, what a great potato harvest!

I read about sinking a trash can below ground in the yard to serve as a root cellar, and may try that next year since if it works, it would allow me to grow many more things to use over the winter. Is that THREE boys I see? Wow, I only have 2 and get stressed, good job Mom! Great pics of your day, especially the one on the little foot bridge. Makes me miss MN, out here my kids can't reach into water under bridges for fear of Cottonmouth snakes!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
