when you're picking veggies or fruit from your garden, carry them in a plastic laundry basket or an old colander. Fill it with produce, then hose off your edibles outdoors. The holes or vents allow the water to drain so you save yourself a messy cleanup indoors.
Hint 2: How many of you clean your kitchen magnets once in awhile?
Well if you don't you really should start, and here's an easy way to do so. Magnets on your fridge can get grimy from the dust and dirt in the kitchen. Give them a good old washing every now and then by slipping them in a cut-off pantyhose leg and tying a knot in the end. Place on the silverware basket or tie to one of the racks in your dishwasher. They'll get clean without having to scrub each on separately.
