I got a bunch of seed packets yesterday for the vegetable garden. They were only .10 each. They are American Seed brand. They were so cheap I couldn't resist. My husband said, "Buy cheap, get cheap."

What has been your experience with these seeds (ie. yield or hardiness)?

Are the expensive seeds really worth the extra cost?

Also, do I have to throw away the seeds I don't use this year or can I keep them for next year?

I'm planning on starting a business making homemade stuff. First I will only be making candles, but would eventually like to include jellies, jams, and maybe some other home decor items. I would like a name that is at least somewhat original and easy to remember. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have a 78" window with two sets of bifold plantation shutters. I need some color in the room and something to break it up. I want to build a valance over the shutters but it has to be far enough away from the wall to allow me to open up the shutters and see the beautiful tropical setting outside. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please help...

After your feet have been outside in parking lots which have chewed gum, and many other similar things, so why is carpeting commonly used even though it remains unwashed for quite some time and it is often laid on or slept on when a bare floor which could be cleaned with cleaners and water much more frequently?

Just wondering if you know how to clean vases (especially a tall thin one where a brush wont reach!). The coating I'm trying to get off is not actually dirty looking but frosted (milky) looking. ?Maybe there is some kind of acid for clear glass.
Actually the parts I could reach were still milky looking after cleaning with detergent. Any clues? Thanks

We have bought a house with a huge living room approx 6m x 6m. One wall has a window running floor to ceiling the whole width of the room, but this leads into another room so it is quite dark and not very cosy. We have 2 brown leather sofas and 2 cream leather sofas. I want to brighten it up and make it feel cosy but practical with 4 kids running riot in it.
Any ideas

The hob looks and works fine - but the controls knobs are now rather battered looking and spoil the look of the appliance. I'm in the UK.

It's a bedroom and cabinet, 10 sq m, of terracotta and salmon colours, with a sofa, wardrobe, writing desk, bookcase, an office arm-chair and a carpet. Thanks for your tips.

I bought it about 3 months ago. At the time, it had a nice shoot and I'd hoped it would open soon. It's done nothing. I think it's dying. I have it by the window next to bamboo blinds so it gets light but not direct sun. I water but I don't think I overwater. What am I doing wrong? I love the plant but have never had any luck with them. Ever.

I buy ahead so that I never run out of things needed around the house. I always store these things at room temp in a dry place , I've been doing this for years and have never had a problem till recently. It seems that a good amount of the time I go to get a product out and all the propellant has disappeared leaving me with a can of stuff I can't use. This happens to multiple products....and it's driving me crazy...is their a way to "fix" them again so they are usable or should I just start saving my store receipts ?

Due to the odd loaction of my mainswater stopcock which is basicaly in a door entrace way, I would like to change the stopcock for somthing less protruding like an isolating valve. This would then alow the piping and valve to be boxed in leaving a small hole for a screw driver.

I am also wanting to fit as an extra a surestop water isolating valve.
