Of course I am getting wimpy production for starting too late. Shame because nothing stopped me from starting earlier, other than ignorance. Next year!

Congrats on your second layer! My wife is impressed by your consistent 2 egg days. She said that’s more than we eat. Hehe, inch by inch…

Funny, I too have been interested in a root cellar for a while now. My grandparents had one in Montana. My folks had a basement with a canning pantry growing up. Unfortunately, my lot has an extremely high water table so digging is out of the question here and nobody has basements in Mountlake Terrace. Sure would be nice though. I miss a basement. So I too am intregued by your research and process!

Looking forward to your future posts on that topic.

We also experience the ventilation issues in our unheated greenhouse. During the summer I open it up (doors, vented ceiling windows, and louvered windows… so the cross breeze is good…but when we start buttoning it up in the fall – the mildews and molds become a real issue. I need to look into the solar fan systems and set something up.

They certainly come in handy if you have a lot of produce to store. I look forward to seeing your root cellar when it gets checked off the to-do list.
