Home & Garden - 4 October 2006

I live in NE Ohio, and have babied a "pet" Brugmansia for more than ten years. It reached 8 feet tall and stopped, thank goodness, for I have to drag the poor thing inside in October. What I've never been able to find out is: what pollinates those huge, white flowers? A bat? It's fragrant at night time. And whatever it is, it does not live in Ohio. I've never seen seeds. A note: a Brugmansia is NOT a Datura. The flowers are very simular, but the plants are different. Brugmansia flowers hang downward, while Datura flowers point upward.

I mulched all the leaves in the garden and tilled them into the soil. Is there any fertilizer that should now be put on the garden to help brake everything up and to have the garden ready for nest year?

15 Amp 250 Volt fuse in a 13 Amp, 120 volt system. Onle one end of the fuse was heating up, and the plastic part of the holder melted. The fuse blew. I thought maybe the fuse blew because it was old, and that melted the holder. But after cleaning up the clips, I put a new fuse in and the one end of the fuse started heating up and sparking again. I flipped the fuse around, and the other end of the fuse started heating up on the same end of the holder. So I flipped the holder around. Still the same end of the holder. I tested for shorts, but there were none. It was still pulling 13 amps, as expected. I installed a new fuse holder, which is NOT heating up. It's working fine with the new fuse holder.

So what would cause that to happen? Does plastic get old and become conductive? I know there's no metal in the fuse holder.

Ok, why don't they just make a paint color called sage green? It would make my life so easy right now.
If you have had luck finding the perfect sage green, please let me know the manufacturer and color name please.

I have it threaded correctly. The tension is set at 3. I have a Singer Touch and Sew Model 645. It sews about 4", then the thread gets so bunched up, it won't go any further. It's just regular cotton/polyester fabric.
