Storing eggs safely is important for your health and that of your family. A method called "water glassing" for storing eggs was popular in the early 1900s, and some still continue using this method, but it is unsafe. This fact sheet addresses proper and safe ways to store eggs, including refrigeration, freezing, and freeze-drying.

Dwarf Crops
Controlled environment research on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is often hindered by large plant size. Desired cultivar traits for research include a compact plant size, fast flowering time, and good fruit set. We grew eight micro-dwarf tomato cultivars to examine their suitability as model plants for research. The cultivar ‘Rejina Red’ had the highest harvest index and most ripe fruits among the red-fruited cultivars; ‘Jochalos’ had the highest harvest index and most ripe fruits among the yellow-fruited cultivars. ‘Microtina’ had a higher harvest index than ‘Rosy Finch’, but fruits were smaller, and growth was less determinate. ‘Monetka’ had a …
