Just my experience but 5-7 days in a ziplock bag in the vegetable bin is about the limit before they begin to break down and get slimy. Less time is better. At season end as they slow way down and I can't get as full load I find its better to just do the few jars I have or to freeze them rather than store them for any time.

Thanks Dave. I picked today and will pick again on Friday, canning them then. I guess I should have planted a bigger block.
