That’s why its important to know how to do your own canning and drying.

Root crops that can stay in the ground over the winter are an often overlooked option.

canning, drying, root crops that can overwinter

Excellent choices. A fall garden can extend the growing season even in more intemperate climates using cloches and row covers, plus plants like cabbage, onions, radishes, chard, beets, kale and others have two advantages-

They can grow long after tender plants like tomatoes and beans are done, and for those that care they are high in anti-oxidants as well as being good to eat.
