Post #4033395

Can some of you more experienced hands giv me some tips on the correct way to harvest and properly market greens.

Yesterday was the first I ever harvested Swiss Chard. I pulled it up just before we left and cut the root when we got to market. My wife then put it in ice water. It wilted badly. She the cut about a inch off the stem and plunged it back into the ice water and it perked up a little..

We have a lot of head type lettuce in and I'd like to make sure it displays well at market. We do ok with the cutting lettuce types.

Thanks
BB
