Storing veg

I have a vegetable patch. I was wondering how i should store some veg?

the ones i have that i think are storable are:

beetroot (?)
parsnips
squahes
carrots long + parmex
swede


thank you

 

Heres a bit of advice from the RHS.

Many vegetables freeze well, but larger crops may need alternative storage. On well-drained soils root crops such as parsnips and carrots can be left in the ground over winter. In cold weather protect roots with a layer of straw, bracken or soil 15cm (6in) deep. This may need to be twice as deep in heavy frosts or for protecting beetroot. Alternatively, cover with a bin liner filled with crumpled newspaper anchored in position with string and pegs. A double layer of fleece will give some protection from mild frosts.

Roots which are lifted for storage should be in good condition. Discard or use up any damaged roots. Prepare vegetables by removing foliage and shaking off loose soil. Vegetables which lose moisture such as carrots, celeriac, swedes and beetroot should be stored in layers of moist sand or peat substitute in boxes, in a frost-free, dark place such as a shed or cellar.

Alternatively, store root vegetables in specially prepared clamps. Choose a sheltered well-drained site out of doors and mound vegetables on a bed of straw covered with a layer of soil. Protect potatoes from frost with a thick layer of straw before covering with the soil. Leave a tuft of straw emerging from the soil as a chimney for excess heat and moisture to escape. Alternatively, construct clamps in a frost-free shed or garage for convenience.

Oh and as for squashes I just keep them in a cool shed or similar and they keep for months.
