My 5 Picks for Survival or Storage Vegetables – Crops that Last A Long Time Once Harvested



I cover 5 categories of storage crops that would ‘In theory” help you survive winter when you can’t grow in your gardens. They are potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, winter squash, and root crops. I recommend acorn & butternut squash, any type of potato, any type of sweet potato, Bull’s Blood or Detroit beets and any type of bean for drying. I also recommend the Purple Top turnip.
