Dorene,
I used to grow a bit of asparagus at home. I found that keeping the asparagus in glass containers with water worked best for me. They were easier to clean, imparted no taste, and looked more professional and food safe than plastic. I used bread pans for a few bunches, or baking pans for larger displays. I got them at the dollar store. A bit of a pain to handle, but sooo much easier to clean. The aspargus exudes a sticky material that sticks to plastic like epoxy, even in water. I always harvested in bushel baskets, making sure the spears all laid one way, and short enough to fit in the basket, the stem end of the basket lined with newspaper, and a pail full of water to wet burlap bags to cover the baskets, once they were full.
