I have copied a photo from 1978 and have tried to decoupage the copy to a clear plate... but have been unsuccessful. The color in the picture tries to run. Can someone tell me how to get this project done?

(Let me just preface this question with some history: I live in an apartment, but crave to be outdoors as much as possible, so I plan ahead by making new friends who are in need of weekend gardeners in my area, so I can play in THEIR soil).

I've always assumed, (because my clients are cheap and I work for free), that annuals are a waste of money.

Then I read Chistopher Lloyd's" Succesion Planting for year-round Pleasure" over the spring season.

I was standing in front a $ table of plants at Lowes. Portulaca were in bloom. I purchased 10 plants. Loved what they did. I want more!

I collected seeds (and dug one up to bring into my apt., but its NOT flurishing).

I am wondering, here in zone 5, how do i start the seeds for next year? Can I sow directly? Do I need to buy grow lights? Will the seeds I let naturally fall to the ground winter over to make beauties for next year?

Thanks for endulging my questions.

Just don't tire yourself out, because I have tons of more ?'s

my home is a 100 amp service. im running a sub panel to my detached garage for lights and outlets mostly, but i might add some other things to the garage down the road such as 220 compressor, welder, and some stationary power tools. if you can answer that question, what size wire would i need if i stepped it down to a 60 amp panel instead of the 100 amp.

These roots are spouting everywhere. I need to get rid of these roots. Some are from the original stump and the others are gowing in other parts of my yard.

I have a forced air gas furnace in the house we bought last month. Turned it on about a two weeks ago was working fine, today the furnace will come on but sometimes puts out cold air other times works fine. The thermastat is digital and sometimes just goes blank, seems to lose power. I have it set at 70 but it will be 66 before the furnace comes on. Any ideas?

Recently my father loaned his van to a family member to move some stuff. Now the van smells disgusting! Kind of like trash containing dog feces or cat litter leaked somewhere (although we cannot pinpoint where) Does anyone know of a product we could use or something we can do to help remove this smell? My father has been leaving the windows and doors open but the smell is still strong, I have checked under all the seats and everywhere possible and have found nothing. thanks
