Growing Home - The History of the Garden Hose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before garden hoses, watering meant hauling buckets and watering cans. Early hoses were made of stitched leather and were used for firefighting. Flexible hoses didn’t exist until 1839 when Charles Goodyear developed vulcanization, a process using heat and sulfur to make rubber stronger, more flexible, and crack resistant. By the late 1800s, homeowners could water gardens without carrying buckets. The garden hose found in your garage today would be instantly recognizable to a gardener 150 years a
Growing Home - Avoiding Sunscald (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've ever found a pale, papery patch on a tomato or pepper, you've likely seen sunscald. Much like a sunburn on human skin, sunscalds occur when fruits receive more direct sunlight than they can handle. It causes whitish or yellow patches.

If you are a baseball fan you might have never heard the word rhubarb to describe an argument on the ball field. Rhubarb in baseball was a
Growing Home - Queen Bees (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beekeepers always believed a queen bee was made by feeding a larva royal jelly and you get royalty. But research published in Nature suggests there's more to the story. Chinese researcher Kai Wang and colleagues found that special worker bees build queen cells from a unique wax that differs from ordinary honeycomb. When young queens were raised in worker-bee wax instead along with royal jelly, they grew smaller and survived less well. The surprise? A future queen is shaped not only by what she e
