If you water heavily the day before you
cut and get them into cold water as you cut, it helps a lot. I cut a half pound,
bundle with an elastic and drop it in 45* water. At market, I put out a
few and kept the rest in coolers.

Subject: [Market-farming] mature chard/spinach I have mature chard and spinach in the
high tunnel, market it tomorrow am, and it is going to be hot and windy.
Forcast 80 with 30+mph winds. I need to get the rest of the chard and
spinach out of hte tunnel, so I can get my tomatoes and peppers in those
spots. Question: how do I keep them from wilting? Last week I cut
them and put them in water in a couple large rubbermaid tubs, the temps were in
the 40's and they still got wilted. How does the grocery store keep their
fresh produce looking fresh? I see chard and spinach in bundles at the
store. Thanks!
