Post harvest produce varies in treatment but stop process is universal. Produce should not be immature or over mature and storage issues arise for both extremes. Pre cooling slows respiration by immersing spraying or spreading crushed ice. After pre cooling store immediately. Harvest timing depends on weather with frost and root crops left in ground. Bruised or damaged produce shortens storage life and should be avoided. Onions and garlic need about a week in sun to dry while pumpkins and squash need two weeks. Do not wash root crops and clip green tops to reduce water loss and rot.
