i would worry about the smell from food being left behind on the chutes

The coolest thing would have to be a stuffed Thanksgiving cornucopia with fruits and vegetables.

I crocheted pillow covers, a patch work afghan, pot holders, pennants for every holiday, placemats, a sweater, crocheted overtop of rocks for interesting shapes, crocheted covers for various shapes of glass, a costume for my cat, a basket to hold craft supplies.

I'm currently working on a chair/poof for the family room

Mint is so easy to grow. I have a pot of cat nip, not even really close to a window. I've kept cilantro pretty long too (it bolts outside in the summer, and lasts way longer indoors).

As for tips- use fertilizer! It makes such a big difference. You can get these little pellets that you put in there once and you're good to go- fuller, darker and more dense plants.

Also, don't over water you could end up with little flies living in the dirt of your pots.

Pinch off dying/dead/weak parts of your plants so they can put their energy into growing the healthy parts. Also pinch off flowers/flower buds, these will change the flavor of the herbs.

that sounds like it would be good on fresh strawberries, or as a glaze on a pastry

i ahve the set in the picture from faberware. mine is red and it's done really well so far. my mom has had her set of faberware cookware for over 25 years

i know a lot of fruit pits and seeds are poisonous. are cherry pits safe to keep soaking in the vinegar for so long?

we adopted a munchkin cat for this very reason- i did not want him jumping all over the counters and table. i know when i go to friend's houses with cats, they don't care about the cat fur in the food and drink. but when they aren't your pet, that's just gross. no guest, no matter how much they love animals, is going to be 100% ok with eating animal fur.

prevention seems to be the best way- regular grooming, keep them out of the kitchen, prewash pots, not letting him join us while we eat

powdered rooting hormone put on the cut/end of the stem will greatly speed up the process, so that the roots form before the stem rots. you'll also get stronger and more vigorous roots.

i use these $2 packets and i put the powder on all of my cut flowers, whether i want them to root or not. it helps plants in water live a lot longer

i love jack white, i'm also very jealous!

i really like most of these. our living room/family room looks similar to the third one- shades of grey and blues
