If you want to store them on your counter. Visit thrift stores and pick up some wire baskets.
I have found putting lemon on top of fruit keeps knats flies away.
If you have a cellar or basement, my Grandparents used to store carrots and apples in sand in their cellar. They kept all winter. If you have an extra room you can close off the heat or most the heat where it is dry, you can store baskets of fruit and veggies in sand in them. We dehydrate ours. Two large pumpkins dehydrated store in one bread loaf bag all winter! I rehydrate to cook and use them. I also save pickle and mayo jars for storing dehydrated veggies. I freeze the berries we grow on cookie sheets then put in freezer bags and they can be retrieved for as few or as many as I need frozen separately on the sheets.
I store my onions and potatoes in one of the 3 tier hanging wire baskets.
Bananas on th e counter on a hanger, tomatoes in a bowl on the counter (not on top of each other), onions and potatoes in the cooler in the fridge, cukes and zucchini in the cooler in the fridge, garlic braided and hung on the wall, apples and pears in a basket. Cantelope, nectarines, peaches and plums in the fridge, not in a drawer. Oranges in a bowl. Berries in the fridge. That's what I do and it seems to work well. Good luck!
