14. Basket
Regularly keep something in your garden for putting vegetables in to take home, whether your home is 20 steps away or a 5-minute drive. How do you think you’re going to carry it all? if you think you’ll remember to bring a bag whenever you go into the garden you’re wrong.
For the times I forget it, which is almost always. I have a Tupperware container near my garden table filled with plastic bags.
Save baskets or bags for carrying vegetables in your garden at all times. Also, make sure you don’t wash the vegetables right away if you want them to store well. Brush the soil off of the veggies and leave it like that.
Wash them just before you’re going to prepare them to eat.
