Candace, do you find that the vegetables last two weeks?

I would sign up for a fortnightly medium-sized one but at the moment  
I find that the veggies go soggy before then, so I have to get weekly  
small boxes (which are less economical and have less variety).

It could be down to my basement being inexplicably warmer than the  
rest of the house.
