Flaxseeds can be a source of an excellent egg substitute. Boil the seeds for 5 minutes. Drain the seeds for a gel that looks and feels exactly like egg whites. For every 1/4 cup of seeds, use 4 cups of water. Perfect for vegan cookies!


Some flower stems (such as echinacea, black-eyed susans, goldenrods, and more) provide homes for pollinating insects. Leaving these plants over the winter will protect your pollinators (and provide food for the birds that eat their seeds). Wait until spring to clip them back. Pollinators protected!
