Home & Garden - 20 May 2007

My grandparents have a house full of furniture and some of it is VERY old and some is new. I know the new stuff isn't antique but the older stuff I don't know. How would we know or go about finding out?

I uncovered a 3" PVC pipe that encases the wires for the phone line into the house when I was digging holes to plant some trees. The pipe is fine and there is no damage or anything so is it ok to still plant my tree beside it?

Will it make you sick? A lot of times, I wash dishes & let them dry & just eat out of them, forgetting that I didn't rinse them.

Are they really that much better than your original dirt devil, hoover, and bissel? I almost bought one one time but it cost $1000+.

I bought a small plant today ad i am deciding whether to plant it in the ground in the backyard, or in a pot on the back porch. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

This plant is supposedly tropical. It has a very large bloom and supposedly reaks more than death when it's open.

I know tie dye is supposed to stay, but is there any possible way to get it out? I'm gonna take it to the dry cleaners but I was just wondering if there's any ways to take it out.

I doubt it's water based because I washed my hands many times since tiedye got on em, and it hasn't come off.

The shirts are white but I dont wanna bleach it cuz I think the white will look different.

I just purchased some dwarf barberry plants, petunias, a burning bush, hostas, and others. I bought very small shrubs for the sole purpose of saving money. How often can I safely put Miracle Grow on my plants without hurting them somehow? I know NOTHING about plants. Thanks for the help!

My mom would like this tree with purple blossoms on it, unfortunatly we don't know what the name of it is, since the frost killed off the blooms before we could look for a blooming one. It is a TREE not a bush or vine. Wisteria can be a tree so I may be that. We have seen the tree around the area, and we live in Northern Ohio. I also know it is not a lilac tree or a cherry blossom tree. What are all the purple blossoming trees?
