I was gonna learn to can, but isn't root cellaring the veggies better for preserving their nutritional value and flavor? At my house we're just gonna try and root cellar everything or blanch/vacuum seal and freeze others. Fresh(ish) veggies in March would be great!

I really enjoyed this read on root cellaring. It's thorough yet very easy to read.

Edit: And according to this: Nutritional value of canned versus fresh: Is there a susbstantial difference in vitamins and mineral values of canned foods, compared to fresh?
Canning your veggies at home isn't hurting their nutritional value, or flavor, if we do it right. Sorry, I was about to perpetuate a myth that I had been sold on, apparently.
