INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your indigo will spout bright, pink or purple flowers. If you want to harvest the leaves to create your own dye, the blossoms are your sign that it's time to pluck. This will usually occur in late summer. You may choose not to harvest your indigo, as the plant makes a lovely ornament. If you're making your own dyes, you can leave the flowers alone. The dye is made from the leaves. You will need at least 1 pound (0.45kg) of leaves to create a dye. Use your fingers to pluck them, or, if you prefer, cut them with a pair of scissors or small pruning shears. You can remove them all at once or in batches. Alternatively, you can use a sickle or garden shears to cut down the entire plant. Your plant will likely sprout more leaves. You can pull the leaves or cut down the entire plant. After this harvest, your plants will enter a dormant period over winter. You do not need to cover your indigo during winter. In most cases, you'll be able to harvest the leaves 2-3 times each season. If your area isn't tropical, then this usually means 2-3 times for each plant, after which they die.

SUMMARY: Harvest indigo just after the plant blooms. Pick the leaves from the plant, starting at the bottom. Harvest your indigo again just before the first frost.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you tear out the old sink, clear out all the cleaning bottles, buckets, pots and pans, or whatever else is in the cabinet underneath. Place old towels over the bottom of the cabinet to sop up excess water. Turn off the hot and cold water lines by twisting the valves in the cabinet clockwise, then open the faucet to drain the lines. If you have a garbage disposal, shut of the power to it at your main breaker panel before your start loosening any pipes or supply lines. A few inches below the underside of the sink, the metal sink strainer will meet the metal or PVC drain pipe. Loosen the nut that connects them, either by hand (for PVC nuts) or with a wrench (for metal). There will be two of these connections if you have a double sink. These are the flexible metal tubes that connect each shut-off valve to the underside of the faucet. To disconnect them, loosen the nut above each valve with a wrench. How the disposal is connected to the sink varies based on brand and type. Refer to your product instructions or contact the manufacturer if you need guidance. The disposal will usually be connected to the drain line with either a screw or a nut. Unplug the disposal, or, if it's hard-wired, disconnect the electrical wiring to remove the disposal completely. You may also choose to lay it in the bottom of the cabinet until it's time for re-installation. If your sink has a metal lip around its edge that keeps it in place, you have a top-mount. Run a utility knife around the perimeter to slice through the caulk. Work carefully if you're not also replacing the countertop. If your sink has no lip that sits on the countertop, it is an undermount that is held up from below by a series of brackets or clips. First, cut through the caulk seal by carefully running your utility knife around the top of the sink basin, where it meets the countertop. Use a screwdriver to remove all the clips or brackets. Removing an undermount requires a second set of hands to hold the sink up as you remove the clips. Recruit a buddy or put your teen to work! If the undermount sink is installed in granite countertops, it may be held up with an epoxy. In this case, first make sure the sink is supported by wood braces below it and cut the epoxy where the sink meets the countertop with a linoleum knife. If this is too difficult, a heat gun may help to soften it. With an undermount, have your helper push up from below while you grab and lift from above. You'll have to twist and contort the sink a bit in order to fit it through the opening. If your sink cabinet has a wide opening, you may be able to pull the sink out from below instead. You can pop up a top-mount sink and lift it out yourself, but this is also much easier with a helper. After the old sink is out of the way, use a razor blade or putty knife to scrape away any caulk residue around the rim of the opening. Clean the de-caulked countertop with your regular cleaning agent, then let it dry completely before installing the new sink. Be very careful with the blade or knife if you're keeping the countertops if you're not, don't worry about it! Essentially, you'll be performing the removal process in reverse: apply a caulk seal, drop or lift the sink into place, tighten any clips or brackets, and fix all the water, drain, and electrical connections. However, you will have to install a new faucet yourself. But with the product instructions and a little faucet installation help from wikiHow, you'll be all set! Likewise, you'll probably need to install a new sink strainer, but you can handle that too!

SUMMARY: Empty the under sink cabinet and shut off the water. Disconnect the drain pipe. Disconnect the hot and cold water lines. Disconnect the garbage disposal, if you're saving it. Cut through the sealing caulk around a top-mount sink. Remove the brackets from beneath for an undermount sink. Push up from underneath to lift out the sink. Clean up the countertop around the sink opening. Install a new sink.
