I've heard you can change the colors of the flowers on a hydrangea plant but I'm not sure how to do it. I wanted to change it from blue to more of a purple color. Anyone how or where I can find out how?

I 'invested' in a bunch of water hose quick couplers a few years back with the brand name of Lego. Can't remember where I got them but have been back to all the big box stores and my usual hardware stores and have not found them.

I would like to purchase others and indeed have bought other brand names but they are designed just differently enough that they are not interchangable. Unleast I have not found what is compatible with the Lego brand. Any advice out there?

The house is a single-family home in a residental area with neighbors homes all around, and a scattering of pines around the house. When we bought the house last year, a terminte inspection was done as part of the purchase/contract, and now 1 year later, I'm curious how often this should be done. Annually?

The title is self explanatory. I didn't realize there were grease spots on my kids' shirts until after I washed them, and now the grease stains are set in.

Our attic fan broke. In this very hot weather it used to run non-stop. I went up there recently and noticed that the fan is not running non matter how hot so it must be broken. It runs on a thermastat and comes on when it reaches a certain temperature.

I alerted my husband because I think it might be a fire hazard since we have mega storage up there of boxes, clothes, christmas items, easter, halloween, ad finitem.

He says it's not necessary to hurry up and fix it because most people don't even have attic fans.

I think the combination of storing boxes of stuff, (nothing combustible), but still, PLUS the stiffling sauna type heat, might be a fire hazard and I'm worried.

Thoughts?

Can anyone give me some insight as to why my tomatoes are staying small and green this year instead of growing to full size and turning red? This has never happened to me before. Any ideas why, and what I can do to make them grow/ripen.

Recently our 3-stories tall avocado tree with tons of heavy, unripe fruits (green, smooth glossy skin) has been falling immature avocados. And within the past week, two arm size branches has fallen down, hit the root and bended the gutter a bit.

As I was cleaning the up the mess, I noticed the wood are extremely easy to break without any tools.

So my concern is...

1) Shall I have it professional pruned ASAP because I am afraid that someone might get hurt from it?

2) I have at least 10 lbs of unripe avocados "harvest" from the recent fall... what else can I do with them besides tossing them in the yard waste bin?

Thanks in advance!
