Home & Garden - 1 June 2007

I was wondering since we did this past winter. It seems that the inside of the AC is dirty and I can't seem to get in there to clean it.

We have a Kenmore refridgerator/freezer with a freezer on top and the refridgerator on bottom. It seems that for some reason, there is water leakage from the freezer that is going all the way to the bottom of the fridge.

It seems cold enough, and this melting only happens occassionally. Both freezer and refridgerator are often very packed with stuff, and sometimes we open it a lot, but what is the problem?

What do you guys think?

If you guys need more details, let me know.

The upstairs of my house smells like rotten milk. But I can't think of any way that milk could have gotten upstairs (we don't have kids, and neither my husband nor I have brought milk upstairs). The smell is diffuse, and after you're up there for a minute or so, you don't notice it anymore, so it's impossible to track down to a specific location. But it's gotten stronger over the past couple of days. Is there anything else besides actual milk that could cause a rotten-milk smell??

The leaves are getting very limp. The plants are not overwatered,and are in selfwatering pots. I have even re-potted them with no success. Only some of the plants are affected.

My wife and I are having a debate. She thinks that having a ceiling fan on in the room where the a/c control unit, will force more cold air onto the unit, thereby causing it to click off, while the rest of the house is still hot. I told her that a fan does not affect the temp in a room. She agrees, but thinks it will force the air from the a/c vents to the control unit too fast and cause it to shut off. Help.

My web searches do not find anything and my landscape guy is not very bright. They have branches coming from the base and are 2 years old and about 3 feet high. They are not Japanese maples. I would like to know if I need to prune them into bushes or trees. They are planted close to the front porch and does not allow much for width or height. Thanks to any green thumbs.:)

The builder was supposed to landscape before they left, but did not, so we are on our own. These boxes are an eyesoar and need to be hidden, but accessible.

The previous owners of my family's house owned a landscaping company; Unfortunately, they all married off and the plants and grass was left uncared for.

There is /one/ rosebush and I was wondering how I can whip it back into shape so it will fully bloom! I didn't know what it was at first until I saw a single, dead flower on it. My mom said it was a rose. Another thing is that there are thorns all over the bush.

Where do I start? I am extremely new to gardening, keep that in mind. Pictures of the rose bush's condition are below.

The whole bush:

I planted some Holly Hocks and am scared to get near them as we live in the country and snakes are popular in the summer time. My niece said she heard they attract copper head snakes.

I have a 5ft by 4 ft window on top of my entrance door and this rmoning there was loud and sharp noise and when i saw the window, it was all cracked and shattered.

It has not fallen dow as it is a tempered glass, I believe. My house is about 1.5 years old and I dont understand why this happened?

I dont see any visible signs of stone, ball or bullet i.e., there no holes in the glass (just cracks) and by looking at the pattern it seems to flow from top center outwards towards the bottom.

Thanks

I need to have the cushions and pillows on my sofa cleaned. I can easily take off the cushion covers and take them to the dry cleaner, but how can I clean the pillows without a zipper? Are they able to be dry cleaned as is? Thanks!

This is a part of a plant my neighbor gave to me last year. I have managed to keep it alive, though it has not gotten much bigger since she gave it to me. I thought it might be a hosta but when I looked it up online, it does not look like what I saw. Then my grandmother told me she thought it was a dumb cane. I looked it up and still don;t think it looks like what I have. Can anyone look at this picture and please tell me what it is, and what I can do to make it grow bigger, or fuller or something. I have tried Miracle grow, different fertilizer, but what you see is what you get. Click here to see the plant;

My guess is that the humidifier may be leaking because I couldn't think of anything else. I checked it out and I don't see anything. I turn it off during the summer months. This just started happening so I don't know whats going on. Any ideas and/or remedies?

I planted them right next to eachother in a partial shade and the one is fine but the other's leaves are curling in on themself. I have watered them everyday, and once with the miracle grow liquidfeed. The only oops I made was when I was reading the the pamphlet I thought it said likes salty soil, so I put some salt in the dirt but when I went back to the pamphlet is said tolerant to salty soil. What should I do?

I went out and bought the poles and now I have to decide how far apart to put them and which direction. I just wondered what your opinion is on this one?
