We have salad year round. In the winter we use cabbage instead of lettuce. Onions, carrots and potatoes all store so they can be used well year round. Cucumbers are great in the summer but in the winter we have pumpkin slices. Tomatoes run about around mid-winter but such is life. We enjoy them all the more when we get them again in July.

It is very possible to store fresh veggies. It is really spring that is the hardest but then the spinach comes up!
