1. In the box (in order of what to eat first):
Arugula - Wash and dry well. Wrap with a damp paper towel and store in a glass container in the fridge. Lasts up to 5 days.
Chard - Remove any bands, twist ties, etc. Most greens must be kept in an air‐tight container with a damp cloth to keep them from drying out. Kale, collard greens, and chard do well in a cup of water on the counter or fridge. Keeps 2-3 days.
Plums or grapes - Store grapes, unwashed, in your refrigerator's fruit drawer. They last up to a week. Let plums ripen on the counter. Then eat them! Lasts 2 to 3 days.
Lemon balm - Trim the ends and place in a glass with some water. Leave at room temp and change the water whenever it gets cloudy. It should keep for about 4 days.
Celery - Store in your crisper.
Lunch Box and Gypsy Peppers - Only wash them right before you plan on eating them as wetness decreases storage time. Store in a cool room to use in a couple of days, place in the crisper if longer storage is needed.
Summer squash - Does fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut. Wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for longer storage.
Roma or shady lady tomatoes - Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay for up to two weeks on the counter. To hasten ripeness, place in a paper bag with an apple.
Cherry Tomatoes - Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay for up to two weeks on the counter. To hasten ripeness, place in a paper bag with an apple.
Melon - Leave at room temperature until it has reached desired ripeness - eat it! Lasts 1-4 days depending on ripeness to start.
Radishes - Remove the greens (store separately) so they don't draw out excess moisture from the roots. Place them in an open container in the fridge with a wet towel placed on top. Lasts up to one week.
Onions - Store in a cool dry place out of the light. Lasts 2-3 months.
