Home & Garden - 16 October 2006

My wife's got the heeby-jeebys. She's interested to know about our rented flat, but there was also a big fire recently in the adjacent block that we'd like to investigate.

I have two jasmine sambac plants potted and kept in full sun. They flowered twice during summer and suddenly oneday they went dry. the whole plant kinda lost all its leaves and dried out. I didn't lose hopes so I kept watering it and fed it with Miracle grow bloom boosters twice. now I see leaves and the plant also gave some flowers, but the plant on the whole still looks very dry with just few green leaves and maybe a few buds. What should i do. the pots that I have planted them in are medium size pots andmy plant is almost 2ft high. Should I plant them on ground, so that the roots have more space to grow I have kept these plants in full sun now, where it gets light till 1:00pm and there after it stays in shade. Please help me save my plant. Am I doing the right thing in maintaining them. i live in Tx

my hubby and I disagree, he says the whole house (15 years old built by a prominent builder) was plumbed backwards. under all sinks the hot is on the right and the cold on the left. I say this is the standard he says the hot should be on the left.

The furnace in the garage is started by pressing in the knob and then lighting the pilot. I hold it there and it's suppose to get this thing warm and then the gas comes through and lights up. Then the pilot stays on, and I release the knob and turn it to on. The heater kicks in, and when it hits the right temp, it will shut off. But, it won't come back on because the pilot light goes out. Any ideas why?

I planted one in my clients garden, but some of the mature blooms died back, maybe from the shock of moisture change in soil.

But it is back in full stride, with smaller buds. I just hope it does its magic, because this plant drives my nostrils crazy and fills my brain up with desire.

I could only afford to purchase one, and it looks a bit lonely. Any suggestions on how to make one of my most favored plants to farm out quickly?

My second favorite scent, btw, is clove (a bit more manly).

And, I undersand there is a new anti-deer spray which smells like cloves (I heard about it on Public Radio). Supposedly it works wonders.

I recall you spray it on new foliage and it grows with the new foliage and holds the scent for as long as the foliage is alive. Deer hate it (amongst other pests). I never learned the name or its maker but I am interested in more details from those who 'nose' about it.

Ok, I'm getting too silly.

But thanks in advance for your response.

I absolutely hate cockroaches. I don't know if there's a phobia for fear of cockroaches or bugs, but whatever it is I dislike them tremendously. I just want to know what my fellow apartment living people do to keep cockroaches away. Anything would help and would be much appreciated.

Couldn't find a good category for this one, hopefully enough people will see it.

I got some green paint on my jeans the other day, accidently swiped them with the paint brush. I tried the tide-to-go pen, but that didn't work very well. I've used shout spot remover on similar stains, but you still have to wash them like a bunch of times before it will come out. any suggestions?

I wish to change my dull white appliances in my kitchen to black but I can not afford to buy all new or used appliances. I have seen on HGTV that it is possible to paint a refrigerator but I am not sure how that would look, feel, or even if the paint job would last with cleaning. Hopefully you all can help.

I wore a black top over tan underwear, and the black dye turned my underwear grey. Any ideas about how to fix it?
