Floppy veg from allotment

[1066]

With lettuce I pull the whole thing up and when I get home put the root part in a jug of water. I find the lettuce will stay fresh for days like that. You do need to change the water every day otherwise it can get a bit stinky and gloopy
Same with any roots I wash them and then put them in a big bowl of water until I'm ready to use them - I try and only pick stuff for that day, but it's not always possible

Cheers guys

"Do I want fresh, tasty produce?" or " Do I want stale, tasteless produce from the supermarket, which APPEARS to be fresh?"

I totally do notice the difference in taste it just doesn't seem very good when all the veg goes floppy

I will take note of all the suggestions and definately put into practice everything where possible

And thanks TS i will try not to water part of the crop as much and do a test to see if it works
