5 BEST TOOLS FOR HARVESTING

Gardening Basics

A garden loaded with vegetables and fruits is every gardener’s dream

come true. Post growing, harvesting and storing the juicy and crispy crop
is a significant deal. Thus, it is said that harvesting is an art and every
gardener must master it.

If you follow the right harvesting techniques, you will not only savor what
you have grown but will also pave the way for excellent yield in years to
come.
Apart from using highly efficient
harvesting tools, you need to keep
the following key point in mind:
1. Harvesting at the apt stage of maturity is necessary for both flavor
and nutrition.
2. Harvest vegetables in the morning when they are likely to be at
their coolest and will take handling better.
3. Vegetables even after harvest are alive; they continue to respire
and break down the cellular contents to provide energy to live.
4. After harvest, the Vegetable quality deteriorates.
5. Keep fresh produce away from sunlight in the proper
storage conditions.
6. Harvest dates vary from season to season, type of fruit and
vegetable, and even with the cultivar of a particular kind of plant.
7. Avoid bruising or damaging the vegetables to minimize decaying.
8. Vegetables with waxy, waterproof skins require cold storage and
can be pre-treated in ice water to remove the heat in the vegetable
at the time of harvest.

harvest, let’s look at five best tools
