Hi, I'm trying to make my toolbag easier to carry around... alot of the tools I've got were given to me...

Would anyone know what this tool is supposed to do ?

(Not looking for innuendo :p) It looks well made so I don't want to discard it if it may come in useful. Thanks.

I need to know what to use, how to make it, and how to make it form. Do I weave it through or something? Do I trim it so it doesn't get overgrown?

This morning, I opened my shower curtain to find a nasty visitor... a cockroach! Yuk. It was right near the drain.

I suspect it was in the process of dying, because I was able to scoop it right up with toilet paper and dispose of it. It really made little/no effort to get away like roaches usually do.

When I moved in about 6 weeks ago, I found a few dead roaches under my kitchen sink, so I put down some roach bait, and haven't seen any sign or evidence of roaches since... until today.

I suspect the one today came in through the bathtub drain, because I don't see how else it would have been able to climb up the porcelain tub, and I've seen no evidence of them elsewhere.

Advice please! I am kind of torn between laying out bait traps in the bathroom vs simply plugging up the drain when the shower is not in use.

I've been reading a few answers about planting from other Yahoo members. Several have mentioned to consider what zone you are in in order to determine what plants would do well in your area. Where do I go for more information?

I have always wanted to grow Wisteria on my Victorian wrap-around porch, but all the good planting spots are taken. However, there is a rarely-used sidewalk next to one side of my porch. Since taking up the sidewalk isn't an option, would it do well in a huge pot? The location is in full sun most of the day. I live in hardiness zone 6a, if this makes any difference.

Also, I'm looking for a Wisteria variety that has showy blooms, dense foliage and is highly fragrant. Any suggestions?
