Can anyone give me some advice on storing beets. We will begin harvest soon
and need to store for about two weeks. I have cold storage space available
at 33-36 degrees. Should the tops be cut off? Should the beets be washed
before or after storage? Will plastic wrap be needed? What is a reasonable
time limit before quality loss. Thanks for any advice.
