Cooler months during the springtime and fall are the best to time to pick cilantro from your garden. Cilantro plants will not grow properly in warmer weather as the heat causes them to seed. Harvest cilantro early and often to encourage it to keep growing.  Once cilantro plants start to flower and produce coriander seeds, they can no longer be harvested. These seeds can be dried and used as coriander in recipes, though. Generally only the outer leaves of the plant should be removed, leaving the inner leaves to continue to grow A cilantro plant should produce new foliage appropriate for harvesting approximately every week for the duration of its blooming. Using sharp scissors or garden shears, cut the largest leafy stems of your cilantro plants just above the ground. Stems of fully grown cilantro plants are generally between 6 inches (15 cm) and 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Do not cut any stems that are smaller than 6 inches (15 cm). To make sure that cilantro plants retain their strength, trim no more than 1/3 of their mass when you harvest the herb. Losing any more of their structure would weaken the plants and possibly stunt their growth. Assess each plant visually and count the number of large stems growing from them before deciding how many to remove. To store large amount of cilantro leaves and stems, wash them and dry them thoroughly. Lay them flat and place them in a thin layer in a resealable freezer bag or airtight freezer safe container. Freeze cilantro and keep it for up to a year.  To use frozen cilantro, simply break off as much as you need and put the rest back in the freezer. If you are cooking with cilantro, use it straight from frozen in your recipe. To use the cilantro as a garnish, let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Another way of preserving cilantro is to dry it out. Tie clusters of full cilantro stems together with twist-ties and hang them in a warm, dry room. Leave them there for several days until they are completely dried out.  Once the stems are dry, you can remove the leaves and crumble them into a small spice jar. You can also dry out cilantro leaves by placing them on a baking tray and heating them in the oven at the lowest possible temperature for 30 minutes.

summary: Harvest cilantro often throughout the spring and fall. Cut stems near the ground level. Harvest no more than 1/3 of each plant. Freeze cilantro leaves and stems. Dry cilantro.

Cotton bolls are sharp and pointy and can injure your hands. While this is not required, wearing gloves will help preserve your hands as you pick the cotton. Cotton is easy to harvest because you can clearly see the fluffy white blossoms on the plant. You can turn your hand in a clockwise motion, for instance. Ideally, the boll will stay on the plant when you remove the cotton. If the boll comes off with the cotton, simply remove it using your fingers. This makes it easier to use the cotton after it dries. To keep your cotton clean and fresh, carry a container with you and fill it up as you go. This way, you can easily keep track of all of your cotton and protect it against dirt and debris. After you harvest the cotton, sort through your bucket or bag, and get rid of any leaves, branches, or debris. This ensures your cotton is clean and fresh, so you can then use it for crafts or making fabric.

summary: Wear a thick pair of gloves to protect your hands. Pull the cotton at its base and twist it out of its boll. Separate the cotton from the boll if any of the plant remains. Place your cotton in a bucket or bag as you harvest it. Lay your cotton on a flat surface and remove any leaves.

The sparks and light that welding gives off is extremely bright and can harm your eyes. There’s also the possibility of metal debris or sparks flying into your face. Purchase an auto-darkening welding helmet online or at a hardware store to protect your eyes and face from the sparks and heat generated from the welding machine. Purchase welding gloves online or at a hardware store. Welding gloves are typically made of cow or pig hide and will protect your hands from electrical shock, heat, and radiation. Always wear gloves when welding something. An apron will prevent sparks from the welding machine from making contact with your clothes or potentially burning you. Get a durable, non-flammable apron online or at a hardware store. Look at all the wires, hoses, and connections on your welder. Replace any damaged or worn components before using the welder. Some welders require calibration at regular intervals. Always be sure that the calibration is up to date; there is no grace period.
summary: Purchase a welding helmet. Get heavy duty welding gloves. Wear a leather apron. Inspect your welder before beginning.
