That’s a great tip! Tried it last night and works wonders! I’ll add that to my list of things to share.

Have a great day, Lucia.

Hugs,

In reply to lynn. A tip I was given to get the most juice out of lemons and limes, roll them on the countertop and then put them in the microwave for 25 seconds. Surprising how much juice your get.

Oh that Lemon Lime tip is a keeper! And yes…I learned that avocado tip the hard way. I buy my avocados in bulk at Costco and have found that once they start to ripen it’s best to put them in the fridge.
Happy seed harvesting!

Great tips Lynn! I will definitely have to try the lemon and lime tip, I’m tired of throwing them out because they weren’t used quick enough. I have a tip to share, but I may be the last to know this tip, lol. I recently learned that if you store avocados in the refrigerator they last longer. I got so tired of cutting into an avocado a few days after I bought them, and it was bad. Since I started storing in the refrigerator I haven’t cut into a bad one yet.
I have been saving my Zinnia seeds as well. This year i am going to try and save some seeds from other flowers as well. I never thought of saving some from my herbs, I will try that as well.

Hi Terry! You feel like family if you’ve known Pam for 60+ years! Thanks so much for popping in with your kind and encouraging comments and to just say ‘hi!’

That lemon/lime hack has saved me so many dried up lemons and limes and I’m reminded of it when I don’t take the time to float them in the water and I end up with some shrivels. Hope you find it just as handy.

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Lynn

I love the lemon hack. I’m going to try that one!
I really enjoy your blogs. Your sister-in-law, Pam, introduced me to them. We have been friends for 60 years!

Like Ellie, I also keep cut q-tips to correct mascara or lipstick mistakes. My favorite makeup hack is to fill a container with hot water & put my mascara tube in it, letting it sit while I put on the rest of my makeup. By the time I get to applying mascara, it is soft & non-clumpy. This little hack enables me to use every last bit without having to throw away half a tube of clumpy maacara.
