15 houseplants for improving indoor air quality
A breath of fresh air
In the late '80s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants that filter out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Lucky for us, the plants can also help clean indoor air on Earth, which is typically far more polluted than outdoor air. Other studies have since been published in the Journal of American Society of Horticultural Science, further proving the science. Want to see the best plants? Read on. (Text: Julie Knapp)

Yipee! Beginner’s Guide To Seed Saving

Beginner’s Guide To Seed Saving
Everything you need to know to get a repeat performance of your favorite edibles next year without ever buying new seeds again.

If left to them their own devices, fleshy fruits naturally fall to the earth, where some of their seeds sprout when spring arrives again. Saving seeds from these plants mimics nature’s way—and it’s not at all difficult to do. But remember that only seeds from open-pollinated, not hybrid, plants will produce the same crop next year. (The packet that the original seeds arrived in will tell you whether the variety is open-pollinated or hybrid.) And, except for tomatoes, the plants shouldn’t be cross-pollinated by insects (which would happen if several varieties grew in the same area).
Peppers
Peppers are the easiest. The seeds are mature after the peppers have changed color, indicating final ripeness. Cut the peppers open, scrape out the seeds onto a plate—reserving the flesh for eating—and let the seeds dry in a non-humid, shaded place, testing them occasionally until they break rather than bend. What could be simpler?

(Note: Dry all wet seeds on a glass or ceramic plate. Spread the seeds evenly over the surface of the plate and stir twice daily to ensure even drying and to keep them from clumping together. Don’t dry seeds on paper plates or paper towels—they’ll stick like glue. A food dehydrator set at 85 degrees works well, but don’t dry them in a warm oven or any place the temperature exceeds 95 degrees.)

Tomatoes
Saving tomato seeds takes a little more time, but it’s just as easy. Harvest ripe tomatoes from several different vines of the same variety, cut each across the middle, and gently squeeze the juice and seeds into a bowl. You’ll see that each tomato seed is encased in a gelatinous coating. (This prevents the seed from sprouting inside the tomato). Remove this coating by fermenting it. This mimics the natural rotting of the fruit and has the added bonus of killing any seed borne tomato diseases that might affect next year’s crop.

To ferment the seeds, add about half as much water as there are tomato seeds and juice in the bowl and stir the mixture twice a day for about three days. Keep a close eye on the mixture—especially if it’s a warm area, as fermentation happens more quickly at high temperatures. As the mixture ferments, its surface will become covered with white or gray mold. Don’t keep the bowl in the kitchen, anywhere it can be tipped over by animals or children, or where you’d be able to smell it—it will get pretty rank.

When bubbles begin to rise to the top of the mass, or when a thick coat of mold has formed, stop the fermentation by adding enough water to double the mixture, and stir vigorously. The clean, good seeds will settle to the bottom of the bowl. Gently pour off mold, debris and any seeds that float (they're hollow). Add more water and repeat the process until only clean seeds remain.

Capture the seeds to be saved by pouring the liquid through a strainer, wipe the strainer bottom with a towel to remove as much moisture as possible, then dump the seeds onto a glass or ceramic plate to dry. Stir twice a day to ensure even drying and to prevent the seeds from clumping together. Warning: Tomato seeds will germinate unless you dry them quickly. To speed drying, you can use a fan, but don’t put the seeds in sunlight or an oven.

Melons + Squash
Muskmelons, watermelons, and winter squash? Super easy. Cut muskmelons open, scoop the seeds into a strainer, rinse, and set out to dry. Watermelons are almost as easy. Put the seeds in a strainer and add a dash of dish washing liquid to remove any sugar left on the seeds. Rinse and dry.

Winter squashes need to be carefully cut to expose the seed cavity. Don't cut straight through the center of the squash—you'll cut through some seeds, too. Just stick the knife in as far as necessary to cut through the flesh and move it around the circumference. (Be careful—some squashes will fight back!) Pull the seeds from the fibers, rinse, and dry. And don't cut a squash before you're ready to eat it—seeds can be saved from most winter squashes many months after harvest (although a few of the long-storage varieties may have sprouted seeds inside after six months or so).

Eggplants
To save the seeds of your eggplants, you’ll need to wait until the fruits are far past the stage when you’d pick them for eating. Any seeds saved from table-ready eggplants will be immature and won’t be viable. If left on the plant, purple eggplant varieties will ripen to a dull brownish color, green varieties to a yellowish green, and white varieties to golden. Eggplants ready for seed saving will be dull, off-colored, hard, and sometimes shriveled.

Cut the ripe eggplants in half and pull the flesh away from the seeded areas. If you want to save more than a few seeds, use a food processor or blender to mash the flesh and expose the seeds. Process (without peeling), and put the pulp in a bowl. Add water, let the good seeds settle, and then pour off the water and debris. Repeat until only clean seeds remain. Add a bit more water and pour the mix through a strainer with a mesh fine enough to catch the tiny seeds. Dry the bottom of the strainer with a towel to absorb excess moisture and dump the seeds out onto a plate to dry.

Cucumbers
After cucumbers ripen, they change color and become soft. (Remember, if you stop picking cucumbers, their vines will stop producing new fruit, so pick your fruit for seed saving toward the end of the season.)

Cut the ripe cucumber in half and scrape the seeds into a bowl. To remove the seeds' coating, rub them gently around the inside of a sieve while washing them or soak them in water for two days. Rinse and dry. (Note: Make sure the cucumbers you use for seed are disease-free; some diseases can be carried on seed and could affect your future crop.)

Summer Squashes
You’ll need to let summer squashes ripen past the tender stage, too. When you can’t dent the squash with a fingernail, the fruit is at the right stage for seed saving. Pick it, cut it open, scrape the seeds into a bowl, wash, drain, and dry.

How to Survive a Winter Blackout

InstructionsThings You’ll Need:

Firewood
Canned food
Manual can opener
Bottled water
Generator
Fuel for generator

Planning Before Winter

Step 1:Heating your home, or at least parts of it will be of primary concern in a winter blackout. A fireplace or wood-burning stove are the most common solutions. Keep a ready supply of firewood for emergencies.
Step 2:Keep a supply of food that can easily be heated over a fire, along with a manual can opener. Have enough drinking water stored for several days at least.
Step 3:Check your supply of batteries for flashlights and radios, and be sure they’re fresh. You’ll need a way to listen to news and weather reports until the power is restored.
Step 4:Consider a generator if you live in an area where blackouts are common. A stand-by generator runs on natural gas or propane, and will start automatically if the power goes out. Another option is a portable generator, from which you can run certain essential appliances like the refrigerator through extension cords. Or you can include a power transfer system, which will restore power to your circuit panel.

When a Storm is Predicted

Step 1:Cook food in advance that can be easily re-heated over a fire. This will not only allow you to have more variety of food to eat if the power is out for several days, but will prevent those foods from going to waste.
Step 2:Fill the bathtub with water, particularly if you have a well. This water can be used for sanitation, but not for drinking.
Step 3:Turn your refrigerator and freezer to their lowest settings. If the power does go out, only open the doors when absolutely necessary, and close it quickly. The more you can keep it shut, the longer the food will stay cold or frozen.

While the Power is Out

Step 1:Wear several layers of loose lightweight clothing as opposed to one heavy layer. Wear a hat, as most heat is lost through the head, and mittens to keep your hands warm.
Step 2:Plan to live in just one or two rooms of your house, closest to the heat source. Try to prevent heat from escaping to other parts of the house by closing doors or hanging blankets in doorways to keep the heat contained.
Step 3:Keep pipes from freezing by turning faucets on just enough so that they drip. Know where the emergency shut off valve is in case of a broken pipe.
Step 4:Assume that any downed power lines are live. Stay away from them, along with any trees or fences they might be resting on. Be sure to keep children and pets away from them, too.
