Keeping garden trimmings

[GardenWeasel]

Got a question to you experienced garden/chicken keepers. I just trimmed 9 large collard plants and 9 heads of cabbage. Way too much to give the girls at once. No room in the fridge. Do you think they would last for a while in an unheated shed? temps are down in the twenties at nigt here.

I don't see why not. I've seen cabbage sit out at the little roadside veggie stands for upwards of a few weeks. Pull off a few bad leaves, and presto! You've got fresh cabbage.

If they don't last, well, that's what the compost heap is for anyway.

As long as the temp. don't get above 40 and don't get below 35 you should be fine and they should last for awhile ...
