Real estate agents have taken several steps to ensure private showings are safe and clients feel comfortable at all times. If you're gearing up to view some properties, here are some additional steps you can take to keep yourself protected.  Bring a Mask It's recommended that you wear a mask if you think you'll be unable to keep six feet apart from your real estate agent or any non-household members during your visit.  Sanitize Your Hands Before entering the home, sanitize your hands.

However, many people are intimidated to grow them, and are not sure what to do with them when it's time to harvest. Here are 5 tips to grow your herbs.  Buy Starter Plants - If you are just starting out, using starter plants is the way to go. Seeds require a specific environment for germinating and hardening off before you plant them.

When you have a season or two under your belt, then branch out to other specialty varieties. There are dozens of different varieties of basil, sage, and other herbs, and they all have subtle differences in taste and appearance. Get...
