Great ideas. I especially love the herbal cigars!
You're lucky to be able to eat all your onions in time. :)
Wow, I have never cured my onions. That is how they get the lovely outer layers. I usually just pile them up in the fridge and am able to eat most in time without losing to rot. Great article.
Saving, savoring, and storing
Many gardeners can't keep up with the abundant supply of vegetables that their garden produces. But it's easy to have a stash of healthy, home-grown food in the freezer or cellar that will allow you to savor the taste of summer long after your garden has disappeared beneath three feet of snow.
While I admire the folks who are willing to can their vegetables, there are other, less time-consuming and sweat-inducing ways to store food through the winter. I've put together a list of my favorite waste-not, want-not tricks for preserving beans, greens, herbs, onions, and garlic, all without sweating over a hot stove.
