Took a trip from Florida to Colorado and saw lots of great things. Saw a lone oil pump jack surrounded by acres and acres of wind farm in the Texas Panhandle.

Prepare tomato seeds for planting by putting tomato pulp and seeds in water, swirl it around and let it sit for 2-3 days. The clean seeds will fall to the bottom and the gooky stuff floats around. Strain on a screen and dry the seeds. Now they are ready to store or plant. #saveseeds #growfood
