I found out by accident that cucumbers stay fresh longer leaving them outdoors. I picked some pickling cucumbers out of my garden and left them on a table that is mostly shaded all day by accident and left town for a while and forgot about them when I came back. They were sitting for around two weeks and they were still fine and not shriveling. It was middle of summer with 80+ degree temps.

[@jerryjamesstone]

yup

[@markmartinez2022]

Nice tip, one question, how's the climate/weather where you are

Very useful, very articulate, no nonsense information. Many thanks. What a relief!

[@jerryjamesstone]

Glad you liked it!

[@angie00718]

I would put them in fridge after picking, they shrivel and wrinkle the same day, so now I keep them out and they do great

[@jerryjamesstone]

Yay

[@Jessicuh214]

Thanks for considering those who live in humid areas like I! Haha Thumbs up!

[@jerryjamesstone]

:-P

[@DreidMusicalX]

Thanks for the video! I grew some slicing cucumbers and as I picked them and put them in the fridge, they would just get rubbery and then rot. Back to compost they went. Now I know what to do.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Happy to help!

[@maya.rain72]

What kind of container should they be stored in on the counter?

[@jerryjamesstone]

dont put them in one, maybe an open bowl

[@AsiaThinks]

But what if you use half and want to save the other half

[@jerryjamesstone]

it will only last a few days in an airtight contianer in the fridge

Store on counter in plastic bag or just out in the open?

[@jerryjamesstone]

Just on the counter, no bag

[@cupid1707]

Thank you !!!

[@jerryjamesstone]

Welcome!

[@dhsredhead]

OMFG THANK YOU. I have a super cold refrigerator and my produce keeps freezing! I didn't know cucumbers could be stores on the counter.

[@jerryjamesstone]

You're welcome!!

[@billyc768]

I just wanted to say If your refrigerator is so cold that the food in there is actually freezing, you need to adjust the knob a bit that controls the temp in the fridge. The settings are usually numbered 1-5. It should be set somewhere between 3 & 4. Get a little thermometer to put in the fridge to check the temp. The fridge should stay above freezing, but below 40 degrees.

what

[@felipeh384]

Never got to the point. I felt like I was watching someone who like to here himself ramble on. ..show his animated intro..explain the chemical theory of imbalances..just cut the cucumber..show what container to store it in..and tell how long it might last..that simple..that why it is called a video..not a seminar lecture..do everyone a favor..get to the point quickly..

[@jerryjamesstone]

maybe watch again lol

[@zharinefrancescal.galang5220]

Well, I think the additional information is very helpful. It's just a matter of preferences, I guess.
