Leaf crops for salads are best harvested in the coof of the day and should be pro- 
tected from drying out by wrapping in a damp cloth or putting them immediately into 
the vegetable compartment in your refrigerator. Salad crops picked when slightly wilted 
do not regain the same crispness and flavor as when picked moist with dew.
