Mustard Greens- 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.

Onions, Spring- Spring onions are onions harvested at the immature stage, when they have just begun to form their bulb and are still green on top.
