Veggies That Last Over 3 Months
Welcome to my blog, where today we're going to talk about vegetables that you can store for a long time in your pantry or on a shelf without needing refrigeration. These vegetables can last up to three months or even longer if they are stored in a cool, dry place.
First up, we have butternut squash. When harvesting your butternut squash, make sure that it is brown like the one I have here, and not green. Green butternut squash won't last long on the shelf. Butternut squash will last for three months or longer if kept in a cool, dry place.
Next up, we have spaghetti squash. Spaghetti squash will last for up to three months or longer if kept in a cool, dark, and dry place. Make sure that the spaghetti squash has a yellow patina on it when harvesting. If it's white or green, it's not ready yet. Spaghetti squash is great for making spaghetti, and you can harvest it about three months after planting.
The third vegetable on our list is sugar pie pumpkins. These pumpkins are perfect for making pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin pie. Sugar pie pumpkins will last for up to three months or longer if kept in a cool, dark, and dry place.
The fourth vegetable on our list is sweet potatoes. You can grow sweet potatoes from slips, and they take about two months to grow. Sweet potatoes are slow-growing, so make sure to start them at least two months before the last frost date in your zone. Sweet potatoes can be harvested just three months after planting and will last for up to three months or longer if kept in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Next up, we have potatoes. Potatoes are easy to grow and can be planted directly in your garden after the danger of frost is over in the spring. You can start harvesting potatoes just three months after planting, and they will last for up to three months if stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
The sixth vegetable on our list is onions. You can start your onions from sets or seeds and can grow them in zones with mild winters in the fall or in zones with snow in the spring. Onions can be harvested in the spring or fall and will last for up to three months if stored in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Finally, we have garlic. Garlic is easy to grow and can be planted in the fall or spring, depending on your zone. Garlic will last for up to six months if stored in a cool, dry place.
In conclusion, these vegetables are great to store in your pantry or on a shelf for a long time without the need for refrigeration. Make sure to store them in a cool, dark, and dry place, and you can enjoy them for up to three months or longer. Thank you for reading, and I'll see you in the next post!
