I was going to put my squash and zucchini in that box, but now I will have to put it somewhere else. I thought perhaps those peelings would decompose and give nutrients to the soil, but what a NICE SURPRISE.
LOL. Sometimes the best successes can show up that way. I've seen several suggestions on simply using cardboard boxes as raised beds. Then, with potatoes you simply pull the boxes apart to harvest. I think I am going to try that this spring. Good luck with your experiments. Say, the British will take new potatoes, freshly dug and put them in tins and rebury them without dirt. Then in the fall, they will dig them up and they apparently taste like new potatoes and have been kept away from vermin. I found that interesting.
Ahhh. You should get a nice crop with that early start. They say you can start onions and carrots from the scraps also. I haven't tried that.

Wow! I may have to try that as I don't have a root cellar for winter storage. Thanks.
You're welcome. Hope it works out.
