A customer at the market asked if I could bring squash blossoms. I haven't
checked any of the post-harvest charts yet, but I'm wondering if anyone has
experience and what kind of treatment/handling you'd recommend. I tried a
few and they seem pretty delicate and wilt easily. I'm thinking maybe they'd
fit in egg cartons.
Other packaging ideas?
Should I keep them cool?
Pricing?

THANKS!!
