    I am seeking advice/tips on whether (Excuse the pun) it is possible or not to store our weekly stock of vegetables outdoors e.g. sack of spuds, carrots, sprouts, onions, cabbage, broccoli.


    Any information is greatly appreciated !!!

    Interested in this too. We upgraded our house and it’s 20Degrees all day. Not great for veg. If anyone has any specific container types to use and where to get them would be much appreciated.

    Vegetable you have mentioned should be stored between 2 to 5 degree Celsius. Hope that explains everything.

    I keep most of my vegetables in the fridge (except potatoes). I know it can be contraversal, but they keep much longer that way.

    I keep some stuff in a lidded plastic laundry hamper in the shed. It's not airtight, so the stuff can breathe, but it's robust enough to keep everything safe from the creature living out there that must be approximately the size of Godzilla, going by its appetite.

    Carrots and potatoes in particular keep waaaaaay longer out there than they do in the kitchen. Just remember not to store potatoes and onions together if you do similar, they don't like each other.

    I store our potatoes in a jute/ hessian sack in the garden shed, failing that a good stout paper bag works well also.

    If you don't have a crayture!

    I'm pretty sure Fantastic Mr. Fox is living under my shed.

    Not sure if that makes me Boggis, Bunce or Bean.


    Also, unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's Unwelcome Mr. Rat 😫
