Gardener's Supply Company Garden Harvest Basket

Yes, the coated mesh body is designed for exactly that. You can rinse your freshly picked produce right in the basket with a garden hose, allowing the water and dirt to drain away easily.

The frame is crafted from natural pine and maple. While it is sturdy, it is best to store the basket in a dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the wood over many seasons.

With a capacity of roughly 4.7 gallons, this basket is sized for a substantial daily harvest. It easily accommodates several pounds of tomatoes, peppers, or root vegetables without feeling overloaded.

The mesh is coated for durability and is quite strong. It is perfectly capable of holding heavy root vegetables, though you should be mindful of the weight to ensure the wooden handle remains comfortable to carry.

The traditional hod style is balanced for stability, so as long as you carry it level, your produce will stay secure. The open top is actually a benefit, allowing you to easily drop in vegetables as you harvest without fumbling with lids or closures.
