Or in other words in the fridge if you live in a "modern" house because there won't be any better place?
What do you mean? Normal fridge temps are too cold for things like tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, basil, etc.
I'm talking about a cool garage, basement, a root cellar. Somewhere cooler, so that the ripening process is slowed down to increase shelf life, but not so cold that they get shitty and mushy and gross.
The coldest part of my house right now is +22C. I'll stick to the fridge.
I know but about half of the many houses I lived in didn't have anything like that, I just want a old earth cellar to store stuff but that's luxery by now.
