Hello,
I have a young commmon lilac plant (three stems out of one plant and about 50cm high). All the leafs are breaking and are turning yellow. I can't see any pests on it, no bugs, etc.
Does anyone know what it might be?

This is my first garden and a melon has started growing. How long before it is ready to be cut and eaten? Web sites would be nice. And how long for tomatos?

I just moved to Europe and brought my clothes dryer with me, I want to know how I can make it work here? Since I understand it ran on a pour prong 240V outlet in the U.S what should I do now to get it to run on a European 220V outlet?

The walls in the kitchen are like a tan/sand color and the living room walls are like a pine green color. The master bedroom is maroon. We're trying to sell the house. We could change the pine and maroon colors too I suppose, but just to do the kitchen cabinets, what color would you recommend? Right now they're white, and I hate to go white again because they show everything. If it helps, the kitchen floor is tan/brown hard tile.

I'm planning a project that will involve multiple 4"*4" and am contemplating using either treated or untreated. The posts would be somewhat exposed. Would doing this lead to any potential health risks?

They look the same. But it seems as though the Lysol Refills can't be found.

Mine just clogged up really bad, which it does quite often. Like after about 10 papers and an envelope.
Once it clogged so bad it wouldn't even go into reverse so my husband rebuilt it somehow.
I need one that will keep going and not clog up so fast.

What would you consider to be a standard price per linear foot for curtain rods?
You can give a general answer or break it down between wood/metal/plastic.
Thank you.

Are there any two piece king mattresses? Or perhaps some sort of piece (of foam perhaps) that would fit above the two mattress (if I choose to go with two full) to make it seemless?

My daughter (5)and my step-daughter (6) share a bedroom. It's about 12 x 15. Now they have a loft bed with a twin frame underneath. I HATE climbing up there and changing the sheets, it's next to impossible. We'd like to do two twin beds, but then where could we put their toys? All thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I guess all I've ever needed 4"*4" for have been exterior projects. Just wondering, do they even sell untreated 4"*4"?

My hibiscuses, especially 1 bush, the yellow one are showing signs of stress--yellow leaves, smaller flowers or no flowers at all. I've fertilized them 3 tmes this season, 2x with miracle gro and once with osmocoat. I water once a day, though sometimes that doesn't seem to be enough I've got them in a morning shade, evening sun position. I live in North Texas.

Help!!

Hello all. I planted a 8-9 foot tall DD Blanchard (Northern Hardy) Southern Magnolia back in April. I am in St. Louis and it was doing great up until about a month ago, but on new growth (probably 1-2 feet) and was healthy. I then added about 3 inches of white gravel around it and on top of the mulch and it started dropping leaves and about half the leaves are now brown and falling off. I removed most of the rocks and watered it thouroughly. I have heard the heat from the rocks can kill them? Do you think this guy will makie it now and is there anything I can do to help it more??

I am planning on raking out the gravel and then covering the driveway with tiny river rock. I am going to edge the side with railroad ties. I also want to add an extension off the side and that is grown in with grass. Should I till it up and dig it out or is there a better method?
