Then when my grandmother's family built a new house in 1920 they had one built in then. Next my great uncle built a house during WW II while waiting for his son to return from CO service. My uncle and his family moved in there along with five younger brothers and sisters that my uncle's wife was responsible for. Plus their own two children. So he built a root cellar too. Finally in 2000 we built a ranch house as we were going to be having my husband's parents and older brother coming to live with us and they needed a handicap accessible house. We should have put a root cellar in there at the time but didn't . We moved in there this fall (daughter and family took over our house) So we built a root cellar into the coolest corner of the basically unfinished basement . My husband and my uncles figured it out and it was ready in time for harvest and seems to be maintaining a good temperature. There would probably be more houses but everyone adds on and has multigenerational houses. My mother will be moving in with my daughter within the next couple years. Long story, sorry. Back to root cellars...I am glad you were able to figure out a solution.<br />Athanasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005869307957326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-36722462233356318472013-12-05T21:48:29.637-05:002013-12-05T21:48:29.637-05:00I made this tonight for the family.

I'm sure a root cellar would be a wonderful addition to food storage! <br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-61891304462532076022013-12-05T15:42:16.294-05:002013-12-05T15:42:16.294-05:00Here is the link for the biscuits. http://homejoys...Here is the link for the biscuits. http://homejoys.blogspot.com/2013/02/garlic-cheese-biscuits.html<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-86214134569996524802013-12-05T15:01:44.737-05:002013-12-05T15:01:44.737-05:00The recipe looks good.

We are lucky enough to have one...we have potatoes, carrots, squash, rutabaga, pumpkins, zuchinni (large ones), apples, red and green cabbages. Onions I keep elsewhere. I can and freeze a lot but don't have to do as much because of the root cellar.
