Market Farming

["" <herbthyme AT simcon.net>]

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!!

I think that you should make sure that you leave the little zucchini on the 
blossoms.  they are selling great at my market.  And they look better too I 
think.  I am not sure how they are transporting them...and I know they are 
only good for a day.  Maybe good idea to have them cool while transporting 
them...
