Starting in late September, northern areas can see freezing temperatures at night. Elevate your outside pots so pooled water doesn't freeze and crack your pots. Strips of wood or even bricks work well.

I like a markerboard as it's less messy, but blackboards are fun, too.
Salt enhances the flavor of food, and it's important for our bodies, but too much can impact your blood pressure and lead to a chance of stroke and heart attack. Salt is found in many foods, so hold off on the shaker, and you will be a healthier YOU!
