What do you use to carry your harvest home?

[basketcase]

(although tbh I eat strawbs on the plot, they don't travel well)

How do you know, TS?!

Sounds to me like they don't travel AT ALL!

[Two_Sheds]

No, I have tried taking them home, honest. They just go mushy

Oh, I like the blue fish boxes too: ideal for transporting seedlings up, and produce back, on the rear rack

Thanks for all the great ideas grapes.

I'm making a collection to keep at the lottie so I won't be caught out on my 'quick pop to check on things' visits which are never quick!

I even rescued a sturdy shoe box from a neighbours recycling today -nice and big for all those beans, peas, courgettes, sweetcorn etc etc etc ...........

Keep the ideas coming though

I'm just gardening at home, but my sister used to be into horses and had those plastic carry trays with different compartments that hold grooming stuff. I've commandeered one of those. I can't quite get the horse stickers off though!

[weekendwellies]

all sorts of horse stuff comes in very useful for gardening too

[Nykied]

You can also buy stretchy covers for the boxes I've mentioned, with a hole in the middle that fits snugly around the handle, so you can still carry it.

They probably sell the boxes and maybe the covers in places like pound shops, homeware shops and horse shops.

Those are the ones!

I use the blue plastic mushrooms boxes to ferry plants and harvests to and from my garden up the allotment I also have 2/3 of the green plastic bread boxes in different sizes which are better for the heaver crops/items and a rucksack if I'm on my bike ..

[Snadger]

Whatever comes to hand at the time! Wrapped in newspaper, carried in hand,carrier bag,bucket or old plantpot!

[jackie j]

I have two trugs but keep forgetting to use them lol, I also keep ice cream tubs, any plastic container that I have bought toms or mushrooms in, carrier bags and anything else that looks useful. I take them to the plot and leave them in the shed. Sort everything out when I get home, wash containers and put them back in my lottie bag that I use to take my water etc in.

Those tall plastic plantpots which things like rose bushes or clematis come in are perfect for broad/runner beans and carrots. After filling I just pop the whole plantpot into a cloth bag and sling it over the handlebars of my bike, keeps them from getting squished on the way home. For small amounts of fruit like currants I use old playdoh pots. I originally took them to the lottie to use on top of canes to stop the children poking their eyes, but I tend to steal any nearby when I have an impromptu harvest whilst weeding! If I'm in the car I use a big pink trug and layer it with the heavy stuff at the bottom and the lighter stuff at the top.

I live a few mins walk from my allotment and was thinking today about what I'll need to keep at the lottie to carry home my harvest.

What do you use?
Thanks

We live about 7 minutes wander from the allotment, dearly beloved uses her nice wee wooden trug and or her nice big Tesco hessian bag..............Muppet here gets to use an empty 150 litre compost bag............I know my place I does..........................

[Bren In Pots]

I use a green plastic trug that came free with a gardening mag years ago.
