Need help🫤....effing title too short 😡🤬😡

A few days ago I got given a whole bunch of fresh lemons off a friends tree.
I put them straight into my fruit bowl .

It's only been like 5...6 days - and they've gone mouldy !

The apples and the limes I have in there, (and were there first ), haven't .

So my questions are :
1. Do I have to wary be now of my other fruit doing the same ?
2. If so, how do I stop that ?
3. And why did the lemons get moldy in the first place ?

Anybody?🤷

Evidently the key is refrigerating the fruit

@bookerdana dammit .

I shoulda known this .

I suppose because it's temperate here....I never thought about the summer heat .

Thanks so much .🤗

@OogieBoogie Long Island is considered temperate,too...which seems to be the worst of all worlds

@bookerdana really ?
I love this climate - rarely too hot or too cold, almost never humid. Nice defined seasons.

Although technically I think Tassie is defined as cool temperate .

@OogieBoogie I am always surprised that because we are surrounded by water and are considered temperate we can be colder than Toronto and as 🔥 as Florida...FML😭

@bookerdana I imagine it's the ocean winds. Or partly .
That's what causes it here .

We only get real hot weather when the winds come down from the mainland ....all dry and hot

But then ...that's what also gives us such fresh sweet smelling air.
I wouldn't give that up for quids .
I love the air here 🤗

@OogieBoogie We mostly get two kinds of air: Hot and humid and cold and humid..what a noihtmare😱

@bookerdana ugh
I HATE humid ...yuck.

I suppose that's what makes the difference ..here it's nearly always dry air, winter or summer.
