Is it safe to say that "all" below ground vegetables have to be cured?  |

Why would you "cure" spuds? Carrots and parsnips will keep for months stored in dry sand so why would you cure them.
Please explain what do you actually mean by cure?

We just leave'em on top the ground lone enough for the dirt to dry good on'em so it's easier to clean off.

Jack, the "cure" is just a air drying, out of the sun, to get the skins so they can't be rubbed easily... We just did run out of spuds the other day from last years crop...It does prolong the storage time... Carrots and parsnips..we store them in sand also, but no curing time is needed for them |

Air dried out of direct sun for spuds, onion, garlic, yea. Theres a good link for sweet potato in an earlier post.
On a less serious note: put one hand on the radio during your favorite gospel program, and t'other on the afflicted root crop...

Well I suppose what we normally say is to dry them, but not in the sun iffin it's spuds, cos it don't take long for them to start to go green.
