Garden been applied during the previous season. Root crops often follow on from greedier vegetables like brassicas in a rotation for this reason, as the manure or compost is added to feed the first crop, but also helps to improve the soil structure in the long term. Harvesting and storing Whether you lift and store your root crop, or leave them in the ground to harvest through the winter will depend on how frozen the ground may get, but also whether they are prone to attack from soil pests. Main crop potatoes – ready to harvest once the haulm (top growth) has died back in early autumn. They can be left in the ground and dug up when required, but if you need the space for other crops, or suffer with keel slugs (underground slugs that attack tubers and root crops) or blight, it is probably better to lift and store the tubers. Lift potatoes carefully – push your fork gently into the ground a distance away from the plant and unearth them. Spread them out to dry in the open air for an hour or so to enable their skins to toughen up for storing. Potatoes need to be stored in dry, dark conditions. Hessian sacks are ideal, as they allow air to circulate. Onions – ready to lift when the tops die down. Again, leave them in the open air for a while – a week or more, to let the papery protective layer ‘cure’. Onions are best stored in cool, dry conditions – plait the dried stems or store in a mesh bag and hang up to ensure good air circulation. Garlic and shallots are treated in the same way as onions. Carrots, beetroot, parsnips, turnips, swede – can be left in the ground and harvested when needed, but to stop them being attacked by pests and if your ground freezes too hard in the winter, it’s best to lift them and store in a protected environment. Once lifted, cut off the leaves and stems to prevent moisture being drawn out of the roots. Find an old wooden box, or storage container and put a layer of sand, sawdust or multi-purpose compost (kept moist, but not wet) in the bottom, then a layer of roots, then more sand/ compost etc. Store in a shed/garage/cellar, but make sure no pests can get at them – don’t seal with a lid, though, as this may create an airless, unhealthy environment. If you have space outside, or have large quantities to store, you could build a clamp, which is a traditional way of keeping vegetables available all through the winter. Find a flat, dry patch of ground and dig a trench around it to ensure that it stays well drained. Put straw/gravel/bracken in the trench to stop earth filling it back up, then put a layer of straw on the base of the clamp. Arrange some roots on top, making sure they don’t touch, then layer straw and root crops alternately into a pyramid shaped mound (so that water doesn’t settle on the top). The earth from the trench can be piled over the final layer. It may be too late for a home grown Christmas lunch from scratch now, but if you’re fed up with shopping, this is a great time for planning next year’s crops and perusing the seed catalogues. What could be more satisfying than pulling up leeks and unearthing tasty tap roots on Christmas morning? Just add some Brussels sprouts to the list and your lunch will be festive – and fresh.
