Make a plastic root cellar by sinking a garbage can into the ground with the rim 3 inches above the ground.  Line the bottom of the garbage can with 2 inches of damp sand, repeat this with each layer of vegetables.  Finally, place a 1 to 2 foot high pile of leaves and straw over the top followed by a plastic film held down by rocks.

Plant strawberries by digging a V-shaped hole about 8 inches deep.  Spread the roots out, place the roots against the side of the hole, then push soil against the roots.  As the plant sends out runner, trim all but the best six runners for an abundant crop.

Make sure you are around to enjoy your vegetable garden harvest.  Keep track of the number of days written on the packet so you are not away on vacation when you garden is ready to harvest.

Save your unused vegetable garden seeds for next year's planting.  The best method of storage is an airtight container in the refrigerator.
