Russ Parsons is the food editor for the LA Times and the author of How to Pick a Peach. He offers these tips for storing summer produce:
1) Don't refrigerate all produce. Tomatoes should never be refrigerated. Peaches and Nectarines should only go in the fridge when they are ripe.
2) Store herbs like flowers - in a glass with water. Place a sandwich bag with holes on top.
3) Wash produce right before you use it.
