Has anyone shared a post on how to store said fruits and vegetables after clipping them? It'd be awesome to have some knowledge to get everything to last as long as possible in the fridge or etc.

I haven’t started many veggies yet but for most fruits I do not wash them and place them in air tight jars or containers. (Especially with berries) this will help keep them fresh for twice as long. Hope this helps 😊

So what do you do then and Why don’t you wash them or put them in air tight containers that’s exactly what I do and I put an oxygen absorber in it too and put it in the fridge, I’m looking into canning and dehydrating but haven’t decided if I wanna get into doing all that…

I usually buy my stuff from the grocery store. Lol. This is the first time I have effectively grown something. I'm the one who usually let's veggies go however in the fridge and they're gone within a week. 😂 I guess when you turn 30 your mindset changes. Lol.

I get a lot of raspberries! I hand pick through them, remove leaves, bugs, etc to get them as clean as possible. Washing them will turn them to mush and they will rot sooner. Then I put them on a cookie sheet in a single layer on silicone sheet and I throw it in the freezer. Once frozen u put them in a zip lock and presto frozen but not in a clump. Look into Ball low/no sugar pectin makes great jam.
