Growing herbs is one of the most rewarding and high-impact options for anyone with limited space. You can grow useful amounts in a pot or windowsill planter, or set up a bed in the corner of a larger garden to grow your favorites.

One thing you’ll quickly learn is that some herbs try to blossom and go to seed as the summer heat sets in. While it’s only natural for them to want to reproduce, if you’re looking to maximize your basil harvest, you’ll need to work around that hard-coded trait. Here’s a quick and easy hack to help keep your basil growing lavishly all summer long.

Growing Basil the Smart Way

This technique has nothing to do with your growing conditions, so put down the compost or fertilizer. It works equally well for a single pot on the windowsill or a large garden bed (if you plan on making enough pesto to last you all year). You can start as soon as you set out your transplants and continue until the cold weather kills your plants.

So, how does it work? Very simply: Take a close look at your basil plant, and you’ll see that its leaves grow in pairs on either side of the stem. Look down the plant to find a big, healthy pair of leaves on a strong stem. Now, pinch the stem just above those leaves (or snip it with a pair of clean scissors). As the basil plant grows, those two leaves will develop into sturdy stems themselves, giving you two stems instead of one. Once those two stems have grown big and strong, repeat the process to get four stems.

“Cut and Come Again”

This is the exact same process you would use to make a houseplant (say, a coleus) grow thick and bushy, and it works just as well with basil. The big plus is that as each stem fills out, you’ll get an ever-growing supply of leaves to harvest, providing you with more of what you love. Eventually, you’ll be able to take all the leaves you need without stripping the entire plant bare.

This practice of continuous harvesting, rather than a single large harvest, is called “cut and come again.” (It works really well with lettuces and other greens, too.) Pinching and pruning your basil this way will greatly increase your harvest, which is excellent news for any basil-lover.

The Simple Cooking Trick for Perfect Seasoning Every Time

Seasoning food (or at least, seasoning it well) is one of the subtlest and most complicated kitchen skills. It’s often what separates exceptional cooks from ordinary ones. A bit of natural talent certainly helps, but most of us learn through trial and error. And experimenting is fun, except when it’s almost dinnertime and your food still needs … something. You could go for broke and simply start adding things to the pot, but then you’re risking the whole meal. Here’s a quick tip for getting your seasoning just right, so you never ruin a dish.

Seasoning food (or at least, seasoning it well) is one of the subtlest and most complicated kitchen skills. It’s often what separates exceptional cooks from ordinary ones. A bit of natural talent certainly helps, but most of us learn through trial and error. And experimenting is fun, except when it’s almost dinnertime and your food…

How To Season Food (Safely) by Experimenting

There’s no substitute for hands-on experimentation in the kitchen. The downside is that freewheeling gets expensive in a hurry, especially if you’re spoiling entire batches of soups, stews, sauces, or whatever else you’re cooking. So, here’s how you can experiment freely and sharpen your skills while minimizing cost and risk.

It’s startlingly simple: Instead of adding the ingredient to the pot or pan, scoop out a spoonful of broth, sauce, or gravy, and add a smidgen to that spoonful. Now taste it, and see what you think. Did that pinch of salt, pepper, or garam masala make it better? Did that bit of minced rosemary play nicely with the garlic and thyme? If so, you can add it confidently to the main pot. If not, scoop out a second spoonful and try it with a different ingredient.

How To Get the Most Out of This Hack

How you use this hack depends on your goal. If you just want dinner on the table and you’re in “fix it now” mode, stop when you find something that works. Add that ingredient to the rest of your dish and call the moment a success. But if you want to build your skills, feel free to try a few extra things even after you find something that works.

This gives you a lot more trial with no-consequence errors, so there’s no downside to flexing your skills and learning which flavor combinations please your palate. It will make you a better cook and teach you some combinations you might not consider otherwise.

Never Lose Food Through the Grill Grates Again

Grilling steaks and burgers is easy. They’re big, flat, and sit nicely on the grate. But what if you’re grilling shrimp or vegetables? These can be small enough and thin enough to slip through the grill grates, where they’re quickly incinerated on the flames or coals. The usual solution for such delicate ingredients is to buy a grill basket, but who has the space for more single-use gadgets? Fortunately, there’s an inexpensive item you probably already have in your kitchen that works just as well — or arguably even better.

Grilling steaks and burgers is easy. They’re big, flat, and sit nicely on the grate. But what if you’re grilling shrimp or vegetables? These can be small enough and thin enough to slip through the grill grates, where they’re quickly incinerated on the flames or coals. The usual solution for such delicate ingredients is to…

Use a Cooling Rack as Your Grill Basket

The wire racks you use for cooling freshly made cookies and crisping oven-baked chicken wings make a perfectly good grill basket. In fact, depending on the selection of cooling racks you have on hand, you may find that a rack gives you more space for grilling asparagus, broccoli florets, or sweet pepper spears than the grill baskets at your local hardware store.

However, not all racks are safe for grilling. Pick one that’s bare metal, without a nonstick coating, or the heat of the grill will ruin the surface. As the grill preheats, place the rack on the grate with its feet pointing up. Before adding your ingredients, lightly coat the cooling rack with cooking spray, ideally something with a high smoke point. Use a long pair of tongs to move the cooling rack around the grill as needed, whether to avoid hot spots, make room for burgers, or for any other adjustments. Then, once it’s oiled and in place, add the vegetables, shrimp, or other food you want to cook.

The Advantages of Grilling on a Cooling Rack

There are benefits to this grilling hack beyond not buying another unitasker. As mentioned earlier, a rack can give you a bigger cooking surface. Better yet, you can change the size and shape of your cooking surface simply by picking a different rack. You can’t do that with grill baskets, unless you’re willing to accumulate them in multiple sizes. That’s even worse than splurging on a single unitasker, especially since you probably already own cooling racks in multiple sizes.

To clean the rack when you’re done, let it soak in a sink full of soapy water to soften the food debris, then clean it with a brush or run it through your dishwasher. Tip: If the rack won’t fit in your dishwasher standing on its edge, lay it flat on the upper tray, atop the other dishes. The rack will let enough water through to clean everything else, and it will still come clean itself.

The Summer Bedding Mistake Causing You To Overheat

Temperatures are rising, and so are your chances of tossing and turning all night — especially if you’re a sweaty sleeper who’s constantly throwing off the covers. Even if you don’t typically run hot at night, it’s time to rethink your bedding for the summer. There may be a simple mistake you’re making, but there’s also an easy solution: Change your sheet fabric.

Temperatures are rising, and so are your chances of tossing and turning all night — especially if you’re a sweaty sleeper who’s constantly throwing off the covers. Even if you don’t typically run hot at night, it’s time to rethink your bedding for the summer. There may be a simple mistake you’re making, but there’s…

Look at the tag on your sheets and duvet cover. The material matters more than you may have thought. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester and microfiber, are often affordably priced and low-maintenance, but they come with a major downside: They are notorious for trapping heat and moisture, making summer nights sweaty.

“Synthetic sheets can feel slick, plasticky, or overly warm against the skin,” says Saul Moreno, director of sales at Downright, a 50-year-old handmade bedding company in Brooklyn, New York.

Instead, shop for bedding made from natural fibers such as cotton or linen. These materials’ breathability can’t be beat, and you’ll appreciate their moisture-wicking properties during hot weather. Not sure which to choose? Each fabric has its advantages. “Linen feels naturally cool to the touch due to its looser weave and structure, which does not cling to the body. Cotton is soft and breathable, offering comfort without trapping heat,” Moreno says.

Best of all, natural fibers only get better with time. Both linen and cotton fibers open up with each wash, creating an even softer fabric with increased airflow. Worried about wrinkles with linen bedding? Don’t be — they add to the fabric’s relaxed, effortless charm. Mother Nature also prefers natural fibers to synthetic ones. Linen and cotton are biodegradable, and therefore much kinder to the environment compared to synthetic sheets.

Tip: Wash bedding made of natural fibers in cold water, which is gentler than hot water. This helps maintain the fiber’s integrity and breathability, so your sheets will look and feel good for years to come.

These Two Natural Ingredients Keep Flies Away

Even the world’s most fervent animal lover would rather flies and mosquitoes stay far away from their home. These pests can bite, spread diseases, and contaminate food just by landing on it. But keeping flies away is easier said than done, and many popular methods use potent chemicals. Thankfully, there’s a simple, natural solution for repelling flies, and it calls for only two ingredients you might already have lying around the kitchen.

Even the world’s most fervent animal lover would rather flies and mosquitoes stay far away from their home. These pests can bite, spread diseases, and contaminate food just by landing on it. But keeping flies away is easier said than done, and many popular methods use potent chemicals. Thankfully, there’s a simple, natural solution for…

The Recipe? Lemons and Cloves

For this trick, all you’ll need is a fresh lemon (a lime will also do) and some whole cloves. It may surprise you to learn that flies, mosquitoes, and similar pests are repelled by the potent natural oils in citrus fruit, and are also turned off by the smell of cloves. This combination makes citrus and cloves the perfect one-two punch for keeping flies at bay.

Slice the lemon crosswise into two even halves. Next, press the whole cloves into the exposed flesh of the fruit so that the stems are submerged and the buds stick out of the top. You’ll want a decent amount of cloves (at least 10, maybe even 20) sticking out of the lemon so that the odor is potent enough to repel flies. Once that’s done, place both halves into a bowl with the flesh side facing up. Then, position the bowl wherever flies are a problem, and they should start dissipating in no time.

This trick works inside your kitchen, near the front door, atop an outdoor dining table, or in any other location around the house where you’re likely to encounter flies and other pests. It’s really that simple — the flies will be repelled by the oils and odors emanating from this natural repellent. The lemon-clove combination should last for a few days, but once the fruit begins to dry up, you should replace it with a new batch for optimal efficacy.

Bonus Tip

Did you know that flies and mosquitoes are also repelled by some plants and herbs? Basil, mint, lavender, rosemary, and lemongrass are a few of the plants known to ward off flies. So plant a little herb garden outside or on your kitchen windowsill — this will not only help keep flies away, but also supply you with delicious fresh herbs for every meal.

Keep Your Car and Home Sand-Free This Summer

To quote Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II, “I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.” While Anakin lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, this anti-sand sentiment remains popular today, especially among those who have to deal with cleaning it out of their car or home.

Going to the beach should be a relaxing experience — not one that leaves you on your hands and knees painstakingly vacuuming every last crevice in your car. Well, fret no longer, because we found a trick to help you keep your car and home sand-free this summer.

Baby Powder — Not Just for Babies

This helpful hack comes to us from TikTok creator @daniellehouston_, who uses it to get sand off of her children at the end of a long day at the beach. But it applies to every beachgoer, from tots to teens to adults. All you need is a clean crew sock and a bottle of baby powder, and you’re good to go.

Open the bottle of baby powder and remove the sifter cap. Then, roll the sock over the spout. Turn the bottle upside down and pour a generous amount of baby powder into the sock — it doesn’t need to be precise, but it should fill the foot of the sock. Next, take the sock off the bottle and tie the open end of the sock around itself (or use a hair elastic) to keep the baby powder from spilling out.

Before heading to your car or walking back to your home or hotel room after a day at the beach, gently pat the baby powder-filled sock on any sandy limbs or even a sandy and wet bathing suit. The sock will release a small, even amount of baby powder, which will remove moisture from your skin or clothing. Without moisture, the sand loses its stickiness, making it easier to remove from yourself or your children. After dabbing the sand and letting it dry for a few seconds, use the sock to wipe it off.

We suggest doing this trick once while you’re still at the beach and again before hopping into your car or walking through the front door. If you store the sock in a zipper-top bag, you can reuse it throughout your beach day. The more thorough you are, the less sand you’ll track in and be forced to clean up later. If you notice any additional baby powder residue, simply wipe it off with a clean towel.

No Sock Necessary

While a sock helps contain the baby powder and limit the mess, it’s not entirely necessary. Baby powder works just fine on its own when it comes to drying out and removing sandy residue — just use your hands to wipe the sand away. Keep a bottle in your car’s glove compartment or your beach bag so you always have it handy.

This One Styling Trick Will Transform Your Space Every Season

Refreshing your home doesn’t require a renovation budget, an interior design degree, or even much (if any) money. Perhaps all you need to do is roam around your backyard with a pair of garden shears. Take it from interior designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee. On TikTok, McGee spilled a simple seasonal styling trick that packs a major punch. Her secret? Swap out greenery and the vessels they live in.

Refreshing your home doesn’t require a renovation budget, an interior design degree, or even much (if any) money. Perhaps all you need to do is roam around your backyard with a pair of garden shears. Take it from interior designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee. On TikTok, McGee spilled a simple seasonal styling trick that…

Rotating greenery each season helps welcome the outdoors into your interiors. This gives any space, from a dining room to a living room to an entryway, a dynamic, lived-in feel.

Fernando Kabigting, founder of FDK Florals in Brooklyn, New York, agrees. “Swapping out your greenery with the seasons is one of the simplest ways to bring rhythm and freshness into your home,” Kabigting says. “Nature shifts, and so should your interiors. Think of it as styling with what’s already in nature’s palette — branches with berries and evergreen in winter can feel grounding and cozy, while summer hydrangeas or gestural clippings from the garden instantly lift a room with softness and light.”

Michael O’Brien, a landscape and garden designer and founder of the Los Angeles-based Hommes + Gardens, adds, “Swapping out greenery with the seasons is such an easy way to keep a space feeling fresh.” And this doesn’t necessarily mean florals. “Herbs, branches, and foliage bring just as much life, often with more texture and scent,” O’Brien says.

Step 1: Pick Seasonally Appropriate Greenery To Display

Each season offers new relevant greenery, whether real or faux. (Though, let’s face it, there’s nothing quite like the texture and fragrance of the real deal.) Consider these designer-approved additions to your home:

Spring: Lilacs, tulips, daffodils, mint, lemon balm, and flowering thyme

Summer: Peonies, hydrangeas, dahlias, basil, fig branches, and cuttings from citrus trees

Autumn: Rosemary, bay, olive, amaranth, and smokebush

Winter: Eucalyptus, cedar, pine, magnolia branches, juniper, and winter berry branches

Step 2: Pick the Perfect Vessel

As the greenery changes, so should the vessel. A weighty ceramic vase feels out of place in summer, even if filled with delicate peonies. In cooler months, consider heavier stoneware or matte, earthy containers. Once the temperatures rise, clear glass, vintage pitchers, and repurposed garden pots bring a sense of lightness. “It all depends on the tone you want to set,” O’Brien says.

Switching out greenery is a low-effort, high-impact styling trick — one that keeps your home looking beautifully in tune with the seasons.

You Should Be Cleaning Your House in This Order

When it comes to cleaning your home effectively, order matters. If you’ve ever vacuumed your floors only to find them covered in debris again after dusting your tchotchkes, you’re not alone. The key to a sparkling clean home isn’t just what you clean, but how and in what order. Cleaning from top to bottom is the most efficient way to get the job done.

When it comes to cleaning your home effectively, order matters. If you’ve ever vacuumed your floors only to find them covered in debris again after dusting your tchotchkes, you’re not alone. The key to a sparkling clean home isn’t just what you clean, but how and in what order. Cleaning from top to bottom is…

Start at the Top: Ceilings, Fans, and High Shelves

Begin with the highest surfaces in your home. Ceiling fans, light fixtures, crown molding, and the tops of cabinets are dust magnets that often go overlooked. Use a long-handled duster or microfiber cloth to gently sweep away cobwebs and dust. This prevents debris from falling onto the surfaces below.

Work Your Way Down: Furniture, Counters, and Surfaces

Next, focus on mid-level surfaces such as shelves, countertops, and furniture. Wipe these areas with an appropriate cleaner, moving from left to right across each room to maintain a consistent flow. Don’t forget to dust baseboards, window sills, and solid furniture as you go. (If you want to put in the extra effort, upholstered furniture can be dusted with your vacuum’s brush attachment.) In the kitchen and bathrooms, this is the time to scrub sinks, appliances, and fixtures.

Save the Floors for Last: Sweep, Mop, and Vacuum

The final step is tackling the floors. By waiting until the end, you ensure that all the dust and dirt from above has ended up on the floors, which is exactly where you want it before cleaning. Start by sweeping or dry-mopping hard floors, then vacuum rugs and carpets. For extra-clean results, mop hard floors with a disinfecting solution.

Why This Order Works

Cleaning from top to bottom avoids the frustration of redoing your work. Gravity ensures that anything you wipe or dust from a high surface will settle below. By following this order, you aren’t just cleaning — you’re cleaning smarter.

3 Pool Noodle Hacks That Solve Household Problems

Pool noodles are the hot DIY item of the summer (and frankly, of every season). Not only are they cheap and widely available at most big-box stores, but they’re also incredibly versatile, capable of fixing countless common problems around the house. Here are three creative ways you can put pool noodles to work.

Pool noodles are the hot DIY item of the summer (and frankly, of every season). Not only are they cheap and widely available at most big-box stores, but they’re also incredibly versatile, capable of fixing countless common problems around the house. Here are three creative ways you can put pool noodles to work.

1. Prevent Pants From Creasing

Do your dress pants get creased when hanging in your closet? A pool noodle can help by providing a larger, rounder surface for them to hang on. First, cut your noodle slightly shorter than the length of the hanger’s pants bar. Then, cut a slit lengthwise down your newly shortened noodle, slip the pants bar inside, and you’re done. With the pool noodle’s help, your pants won’t crease like they do when hanging over the thin bar on most hangers.

2. Fill Buckets Easily

Unless you have a faucet with a long pull-down sprayer, filling a bucket in the sink can be a real pain. Many buckets are too tall to fit under faucets, and attempting to fill them often results in water spilling everywhere.

Pool noodles can help. First, make sure your noodle doesn’t have any cracks or slits in it where water could escape. Then, place one end of the pool noodle into the bucket and slide the other end over the head of the faucet. Now you have a super-long spout for filling buckets with ease.

3. Cover Outdoor Extension Cords

Even outdoor extension cords can degrade when exposed to the elements. Give yours an extra layer of protection with a pool noodle or pipe insulation. Cut a 1-foot section from your pool noodle, then use a box cutter to make a vertical slit all the way down one side. Slide the cord into the pool noodle through the slit, making sure the plug connector is completely covered. While this won’t totally waterproof your outdoor extension cords, it will provide greater protection and prevent the ends from pulling apart as easily.

This Easy Upgrade Turns Your Feeder Into a Hummingbird Magnet

Have you ever watched hummingbirds swarm your neighbor’s feeder while yours is virtually deserted? What could they be doing differently? The answer is likely that they are providing the hummingbirds with a place to perch. Although it may seem like a small change, it makes a big difference to these tiny creatures.

Have you ever watched hummingbirds swarm your neighbor’s feeder while yours is virtually deserted? What could they be doing differently? The answer is likely that they are providing the hummingbirds with a place to perch. Although it may seem like a small change, it makes a big difference to these tiny creatures.

Fortunately, there’s an easy and inexpensive hack to turn your feeder into a hummingbird magnet. If you don’t yet have a hummingbird feeder, you can get a good one for next to nothing at Dollar Tree or on Amazon. While you’re shopping, grab some bendable wire — the kind typically used for crafting. That’s all you’ll need to create a comfy place for the birds to sit while they sip.

Design Matters

This hack is specifically for hummingbird feeders without a perch ring or individual perches at feeding ports. If your feeder has one of these features, the hummingbirds already have a place to safely rest and digest their food.

Loop the Loop

To start, take a length of wire and form it into a circle about the size of a balled-up fist. Securely twist or tie the ends together.

Loop the wire circle over one of the fake flowers (aka feeding ports) on your hummingbird feeder. Then, loop it around once or twice more, similar to how you would wrap a hair tie around a ponytail. The end goal is to create a small wire bar for the hummingbirds to perch on while they drink from the flower, so don’t loop it so many times that there’s none left.

Shape It Up

Shape the wire that is now attached to the flower. This shouldn’t take much time or effort; you just want to make it slightly more square than circular. Try to think of it from a hummingbird’s point of view — they need a steady perch while they dip their heads down to drink.

Repeat this around each flower on your hummingbird feeder, and you’re done. Now, take your feeder back outside (full of nectar, of course) and wait for the little birds to find out they’ve gotten a big upgrade.

Bonus Hack: How To Make Hummingbird Nectar

Hummingbird nectar is incredibly simple (and cheap) to make. All you need is:

• 1/4 cup refined white sugar

• 1 cup water

Bring the water to a boil and stir in the sugar until it is dissolved. Allow the nectar to cool completely before filling up your feeder.

Note: Don’t use red food coloring, which may harm the birds, or substitute honey, which can contribute to fungal growth.
