ETA: Actually there may BE a problem with this, at least with broccoli and cauliflower. Both of them came out with an odd sour taste after roasting. (Didn't taste them before.)
By the time we get home from anywhere, it's late and we're tired and can barely get the meat and dairy to safety. Anywhere from here is an all day trip, so the next day and next we're recovering or dealing with other homestead crises, or it's time for another all day trip to a doctor. So by the time I can do anything with the fresh vegetables they're no longer very fresh.
I like to stick meat straight in the freezer so it's not a deadline. Finally tried it with the fresh veg, at least the leafy ones, not the squash or tomatoes of course (or should I?). Vegetables come out of the store in a light loose plastic bag, so that's how I put them in the freezer, original bag and all. Maybe loosely tie the bag.
None of that washing, trimming, and blanching and whatever else.
They're still better than commercial frozen vegetables. The leaves get frozen stiff so it's easy to break off however many leaves are needed for a meal. They've still got enough texture to cut them with scissors.
