It was a school project to grow nasturtiums and record their growth. When I look at information and pictures of this plant, I see flowers. But my plant is all leafy and no flowers. What is wrong? The plant has already been growing for like a month to a month and a half. Shouldn't it be blooming already?

A few days ago I placed some gear in the garage... and then later saw it had slug trails over it. I've not tried getting it out of the material yet.....

Yet also I've got other gear in my garage... metal stuff... and I could do without slug slime damaging it.

I always wondered where the slugs went before daybreak... I've just been outside at 4am and seen a convoy of them heading for the gap under my garage door.

I have this magical gnome that lives in my basement. He keeps threatening to burn my house down. Other times he pees in my shoes, just to be an a**hole. I have asked him to leave a few times, but the jerk won't go. He won't even split the utility bill. Anybody out there know how to kill a gnome? Or at least make him leave my house????

My boyfriend bought me a beautiful orchid plant in a pretty big pot. I live in an apartment and I put it on my balcony where the sun hits like maybe half of the day and I watered it 1-2 times a week as directed but it ended up dying. How do you care for an orchid plant??? And now that it is dead, do I need to replant another or what??? Please help??

I have already killed five nests and found three more today. I also have one that is unreachable underneath my porch. Is there a way to kill the wasps and prevent them from coming back? I killed four nests and found three more the next day? What works? I'm being attacked and so are my dogs, while I am willing to share my yard with them I would prefer them to not be causing any harm to myself or my animals.

I have seen on TV where lizards, snakes, and other critters are getting into toilets through the sewer/plumbing line. It would seem like there should be some sort of backflow valve to keep sewage and critters from coming into the house. Is it normal for things like this to take place in a 5 year old home that was a new construction? There are no mature trees around that would have broken a line or anything like that. Is there anything that can be done so that we do not have more visitors in the toilets that are not frequently used? Or even worse, before they decide to explore further into our home?

This is for my bathroom. I've seen others do it. Once you flip the light switch, a radio (clock radio or music box) inside turns on.
