I bag them. Fold the leaves longitudinally if needed and put
the leaf end into a plastic bag. The chard stems can stick out. Spinach I
gently fold a bunch of leaves if needed to get into a bag, tie the end
shut.

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!
