BDN speaks with Lindley about planning harvest food storage space
The Bangor Daily News spoke with Vina Lindley, a food systems and home horticulture professional with the Waldo County office of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, for an article on planning harvest food storage space. “Now is the time to be thinking about the varieties that can work with the storage options you have available in your home,” she said. “You don’t want to grow a giant bed of something and not have the capacity to store it.” Lindley recommended walking through your home to see if there’s an unused bedroom, crawlspace or closet that could be kept unheated, or a space in a garage. “Different vegetables like different storage conditions,” Lindley said. “So always be thinking about storage areas you could use in your home.”
