We made a quick family trip to Wisconsin over the Labor Day weekend in order to visit family and friends. Visiting, swimming in the hotel pool, going to Mass at a Basilica, and spending some time at the lake were highlights of the weekend. I found a way to make Homestead Dad gear available. Or find the new page on the website. Ducks, and Cows, and Pigs, Oh My! A Very Productive Sunday.

Anyway, here I am again, this time with one more nice, useful and comprehensive how-to article that explains how to make your own hypertufa stone trough. Courtesy James Middleton of TheAllotmentGarden.

Where the present and past collide. Saving Zucchini and Tomato Seeds. I grated a zucchini up to freeze and got 5 cups out of it. Before grating, I took the core, cleaned out the seeds as best I could and put them in a large glass bowl full of water. I let it sit for several minutes. The dead seeds should float to the top, the good ones will fall to the bottom. Used a slotted spoon to take out the ones that were floating, drained the rest.
