Liz, Thanks for the advice -- I was able to find a web blog that suggested a quick rinse and then store the scallions with roots and the white part covered with water in a glass bowl. Then, enclose the tops and glass bowl with a plastic bag -- finally, put the bowl with scallions in the cooler. I tried this and can only say that my picking looked good with overnight storage and I sold out at the market this morning. Has anyone else tried the glass bowl and plastic bag routine? Results? Thanks, Tom

I'm new at market farming -- how should scallions be prepared and stored for
market? Many thanks for any help that might be offered. Tom
