If the fruits sit on the soil directly they won’t last very well on the plant and can get moldy and rot . I’d recommend mulching around them with straw

Thank you so much for suggesting this. Would you recommend a specific type of mulch?

I found mulch that was appropriate for vegetables. Will this do the trick?
