Came across this article in Livewell Magazine Sept - Oct 2008 issue and I find that the following informations are useful to share.

Storing Vegetables
1. To make vegetables last long in the refrigerator, dry all the vegetables with napkin or cloth.
2. Wrap celery in aluminum foil before placing in the refrigerator, it will keep for weeks.
3. While storing chillies, removing the stems will keep them fresh for a longer time.
4. To keep garden peas out of the pod looking fresh and beautifully green simply soak them overnight on a bucket of water with some ordinary baking soda mixed in.
5. Don't store potatoes near onions as potatoes rot quickly if stored near onions.
6. If you want leafy vegetables to stay crunchy, cut the stems off and separate the stalks. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar to a vessel filled with cold water. Now place vegetables in it. Soak for 4-5 hours. Drain well and refrigerate.
7. Crumbled newspapers lining the vegetable compartments of a refrigerator will keep veggies crisp.
8. Keep green beans dry in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for 4-5 days.

Here's a guide to how long some common vegetables can be stored in your fridge.
