Thank you so very much. From the start, collecting most of the Historical Vegetables were very exciting and "scary"at the same time. Like the first description of a Large Green Quash with a 18 month shelve life "that looked like a duck, turned out to be a Cushaw Squash. The Contrabands Slaves used build-in cabinets to store they winter vegetables. This is a pictures of the build-in china cabinet made by one of the Contraband Slaves with dry storage to block all sun light too perfectly store their Winter Squash,Potatoes, Onions. My husband and I have tried to save this historical Cabinet for years. All trim work were done by the professional hands of the Contraband Slaves. Tomatoes and other Fruits & Vetagtables were " only can in jars for winter food uses and stored deep inside of hide stroge deep in the upper left of this historical hand made Cabinet in this picture.
