The potatoes go into strong paper sacks and are stored in the garage. We\u2019ve done this for a long time now and the potatoes remain in good condition through winter and into spring. By March they are usually beginning to sprout new shoots and begin to turn soft and are of no use for eating.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve tried different methods of keeping carrots through the winter. We\u2019ve left them in the ground, covered with straw to protect them from frost but this way proved to be very hit and miss depending on the weather. A wet winter would see them rot in the ground. A more successful method was to store them in used compost in large tubs kept in the greenhouse over winter. However, last autumn when the carrots were dug up I didn\u2019t have any tubs or used compost available and decided to try storing them in paper sacks and old compost bags.<\/p><p>Some beetroots were also stored in paper sacks.<\/p><p>You can decide from the video whether it\u2019s been a success or not.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9026033 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9026033\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>03 February 2024<\/h3><h3>Searching for spring at Nostell Priory<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ec2620 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"4ec2620\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"drops\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-379ac82 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wp-widget-ocean_video\" data-id=\"379ac82\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wp-widget-ocean_video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"responsive-video-wrap clr\"><iframe title=\"2024\u201302-02-Searching for spring at Nostell Priory\" width=\"270\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2QnLtAyY_XM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9e350f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9e350f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We were looking out for the first signs of spring on Ruby&#8217;s walk at Nostell Priory this week.
