I don’t like anything going to waste, so learning how to freeze squash can ensure that you will enjoy this tasty vegetable well into the winter. There are different methods you can use, depending on your space and the state you’d like your squash to be in when it comes out of the freezer (i.e. cubed or puréed).

Why freeze squash instead of storing it?There are a few reasons why you may want to freeze squash instead of storing it for the winter in a cold cellar. And the type of squash you grow will also dictate how you store it. Summer squash, such as zucchini and patty pan, can only be stored for about two weeks.

How to Build a Stylish Dry Creek Bed
Stormwater runoff, and the damage it can leave behind, has become a seemingly unmanageable problem for gardeners from coast to coast. The perfect mix of unpredictable and changing weather patterns, urban infill that plots houses just feet apart, and disturbed soil stratification due to poor grading practices can turn a beautiful garden into a chaotic mess in short order. Fortunately, we gardeners have several options for mitigating the problem. These include installing mass plantings of rhizomatous grasses or shrubs that hold the ground in place and slow down stormwater, rebuilding soil structure, and installing dry creek beds.

Lawn Watering Tips: When Is the Best Time to Water Your Lawn?
Cooler temperatures and calm breezes help keep evaporation to a minimum. It also keeps the turf cooler during the hottest parts of the day, which means less stress on the grass. If it’s not convenient to water in the morning, late afternoon is the next best time. Waiting to water until too late in the evening keeps lawns wet overnight, which can make the grass susceptible to diseases like fungus.
