After the huge downpours of last week all of my grape hyacinths are sprouting up again. Why? Does this mean they'll die and not re-bloom next spring?

Hey ppl :)


I live in Belgium and the water here contains an enormous amount calcium wich makes it very time consuming to clean any "wet" areas. Any tips on how to deal with this? I have tried vingar and I'm sure if I scrub for a while it would help but I'm hoping there's something a bit more effective out there?? I have acess to American stores so recommendation of any commercial products American or european would be helpful. Please only recommend something that you have tried and know works. Also if you know of any scrubbers that works well and don't scratch the surface of the tub.

You all have a great day/night

Thanx a lot!

Hi, I am selling my fabric stash on eaby and am making money I so desperately need but they need to be steamed or ironed before I photo them or send them. Ironing takes so long and I know I helped at a dress store once and they had a steamer, I can't afford much at all, but can i buy something at Walmart that would actually work well or on ebay used. What is good ?

I just potted a Ficus Elastica and want it to go outside next to my front door, which is in the shade with an overhang. I live in Northern California (hot summers/cold winters). Is my plant going to be okay outside, or are they best as indoor plants? I also thought maybe I could bring it inside during the winter, but I know they are tempermental...thanks

Does it wash as well as a normal size machine? How much can you fit it them? Can they wash pots etc?
Are they easy to plumb in? And how long are the tubes for the plumbing... ie does it have to sit right next to the sink?

Thanks!

I was given a beautiful orchid for Mother's Day, but by the end of June all of the blossoms had fallen off. Someone told me that orchids become dormant until next spring...is this true or is there something I can do to revive it?

I stare at my garden, and it seems like it's all messed up, tall flowers in front, shorter, stuff in the middle. I've been a little leary about moving stuff now, in August. I live in Rhode Island, so we don't get frost until November or so, but I have never really been up on when you can and when you can't move things with out killing them! Mostly Hosta, Beebalm, cone flowers, black eyed susans, small yellow bushy flowers that I forget the name of. I also have a new Rose of Sharon that sprouted off the mother plant, and is flowering, but shadowed and I would love to move that too, into a more sunny, prominent area. Any advice?
thank you!
