Home & Garden - 26 July 2007

I usually buy vinyl shower cutain liners for less than $3 at Target, then just throw them away when they develop lots of mildew. I live in an apartment that has no exhaust fan in the bathroom, so mildew is practically unavoidable. Will it be worth it to spend $10 on one of the fabric, mildew resistant liners? I imagine that I could put the fabric kind in the washing machine if it begins to develop mold instead of throwing it away, correct?

Plums, grapes, lemons, grapefruit, pears all grow from my backyard. I have enjoyed all the fruit trees that were planted there before I moved into this house three yrs ago. I just water them and don't use any chemicals. I just wash them and enjoy. BUT I just wanted to know if it was SAFE to eat the fruit?

I searched Google, and I've read a lot of comments people made about daffodils. People like to cross-pollinate daffodils, but I am wondering is it possible for one daffodil flower to self-pollinate? Is it self-unfruitful?

I don't know if it's an oil issue or it needs a tune up but I'd appreciate any feedback.

We are finishing our basement and have a dimmer switch wired to 10 recessed lights. The screws that connect the gang plate to the dimmer are hot after only a short time with the power on.

I bought a majesty palm a few weeks ago, it is about 4 feet tall and has wide shoots. I have it on my back patio where there is barely any sun during the day. It seems to be fine there. I wish I had it in my front yard though.

My front yard, recieves no direct sun until about 1 pm and then the sun leaves at about 6. However if I put my palm tree there, I am worried that it will have heat stress. What do you think? Is it okay to put it there, eventhough the area recieves about 5 hours of direct sunlight + 90 degree heat?

I have no Raid in the house right now and I need to kill some common household bugs. The questions is "will" household bleach kill them? (Spiders, beetles, water bugs?)

I would say that my house currently looks like a "COPS" house...you know when you watch COPS and wonder who the hell would live like that! I have piles of dishes in the sink, piles of laundry in every room...a real mess! My hubby and I both work 40 hours a week (he works midnights and sleeps all day and his days off are during the week) and we have 3 young children, 2 cats, and 1 dog. Either make me feel better about my house or tell me how you keep yours clean!

We planted a pumpkin patch and we've followed all the directions. Our plants are big and healthy looking, we water them everyday. I was told they need lots of water. There are tons of flower, but there are no pumpkins. Our neighbor has pumpkins the size of softballs. What did we do wrong? Thanks so much.
