Oh, I never thought about cold storage during summer heat although Grammie did mention citrus!

We seldom get much above 90ºF here, and my spring house (which is down in a low swale) stays relatively cool IF I wanted to store anything short-term. Nothing like milk jugs in running water, though... they put in some large piping years ago to direct the water straight through the spring house into a spring box with a submersible pump (outside the structure), so now the house stays mostly somewhat dry except when we have lots of rain. If I can ever get someone to dig out the spring, I'll take out the piping. That's where I'll grow mushrooms.

Hey, I MAY have a cowshare and/or a goatshare! Whooopeee!
