However, there is one last dance to steal before the month is out: collect any seed that has ripened and save it for next year. Serious seed-saving requires more than just harvesting.

Blind ads are an option used to maintain anonymity for the person or company placing the ad. A blind ad does not include the name or address of the company or person placing the ad and is typically used in newspaper and online help-wanted or position-wanted advertisements.
Three weeks to a month is a safe interval for following up on a blind ad. A short email indicating your continuing interest in the position may get a response, especially since few applicants bother to pursue the job beyond sending a resume. Potential employers appreciate enthusiasm and perseverance. Most job seekers miss an important opportunity when they worry about being overeager.
