erm..i grow them in my enclosure...weeds are notoriously hardy...Even with a heat lamp ...just spray them with water occasionally...and you could (like myself) leave a patch to grow wild in your garden & take your pick !~see? easy!

I pick in bulk and keep them in a Tupperware dish in the fridge. They last around a week this way.

Yes, wash them with cold water and put them in a tupperware in the fridge...they last for days.

Default weeds

I grow my own now in seed trays which I can rotate around. If I pick any when I am out I wash them and pop them in a tupperware type container in the fridge and yes they do last about a week.
