Home & Garden - 23 April 2007

It's old old old tile......

the grout in between the tiles is almost level with the top of the tiles....and there is not much texture at all either......could I just use a spray adhesive and caulk/seal the outside edges??

We're not planning on being here much longer.....and I don't want to ruin the tile should the next owners decide they'd rather have that.......

Thanks for the help!

I plan on making a pond the size of a football field and about 20-25 feet deep, planning on making a rope swing near it so me and my friends can jump, swim, rope swing and what not. How can i keep this pond clean enough to swim in it? It is quite the ways out from my house and it will be near a bunch of trees.

Today is April 23rd / 07. I live in Sudbury, ON. The weather has been very hot recently - roughly 26 degrees Celcius. We barely even had a Spring. I've just been putting off planting these vegetables. I know that planting the flowers will not be a problem, but the veggies? I'd like them to flourish at least by August. Thanks!!

yeah...... I couldn't stop the urge to play with the gnome and I went even farther that I usually do....... does this mean my infatuation with gnomes got a little bit worse? just couldn't help it. Then to boot I got arrested for public fornacation, and being nude in a public place (I did the deed in a park) this is a serious question, so if I get any stupid answers back then I will report you! how can I fix my problem?? Because I don't want to get pregnant and have little gnome babies.

When we purchased our home the azaleas were so high and overgrown, we couldn't see out of the windows inside. My husband cut them back drastically after they bloomed last year (albeit long after bloom), yet there are no blooms this year. Everything else is in bloom, including the azaleas in the back yard. The front azaleas look horrible. They are just large stumpy looking branches w/maybe one or two flowers on one out of 7 of them. I think he waited too late to cut them maybe? It was almost fall, last year. What to do? Do we need to pull them up and start over? How would we do that considering how huge the roots are now? Forgive me for the newbie question, but I am a new homeowner, and have little knowledge of these things.

I was lucky enough to find this plant only one year. Since then I have had absolutely no luck. It's kind of a dark purple leaf on the backside, on the front it gets very silvery almost metallic looking. It is soooooo beautiful, and grew wonderfully in my part sun spot.I live in Illinois, I have been actively looking everywhere for it. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, can you start it from seed, if so where can I get a hold of some seeds. Any help would sure be appreciated.

When I was in my early 20s I rode motorcycles. I gave it up in my late 20s for the safer hobby of scuba diving. Now in my early 30s, I spend most of my free time gardening. It's more physically demanding than either of my old hobbies! After a weekend of very nice weather, my hands have blisters from using the bulb planter (I was wearing gloves) and my back kills from kneeling over my beds planting seeds and seedlings, and my body aches like after a very energetic workout even though I'm already in good shape physically and health-wise. Yet, I see 80 year old men and women easily gardening all the time. What are their old-timer secrets to making gardening less physically demanding?

My name is Sidney. When I try to preserve left over food in my refrigerator, it keeps getting bad (sour) with some whitish mold-like stuff sometimes appearing on the food. I have tried to adjust the temperature (going to extremes even) but that does not seem to help.
Please, I really need answers or suggestions.
