Home & Garden - 7 September 2007

I have just planted Cowboy Cactus (euphorbia) in a partially sunny and sheltered spot in my garden in London.

Now I know most places will recommend that it be kept either indoors or in a conservatory but I'm thinking they must be used to living in the desert where it gets pretty damn cold at night time and its a pretty hardy plant - will the winter frosts kill it ?

I purchase the huge copper fire cauldron from Smith & Hawken - it is a really deep pit with a rack that sits about 6 inches below the top lip and a retractable screen, I wasn't sure if the logs go on top of the rack or at the bottom of the pit, if they go at the bottom of the pit then what is the rack for - it doesn't look like something to cook on? They didn't send instructions and I couldn't find the answer online - any feedback would be great, I want to blaze tonight!!!

Hi. I planted this flowering vine along some lattice on our deck. I adore it! Not only does it give us added privacy for our deck area, the hummingbirds love it too. I forgot the name of it and I want to plant more in the spring. There are pods on it so I have the seeds to plant, but everyone wants to know what this beautiful vine is called.. any info will be helpful... even a link perhaps to a site where i might be able to find it. Thanks.

Can putting too much bleach in your white wash turn your white's into that ugly yellow/greyish color?

I can't seem to keep my whites, pure white looking.
I use Clorex, because using a cheaper brand didn't do the job well at all.

My washing machine is clean. No residue.

Damp is a problem in my bathroom and recently I had to cut out some green mould in the bottom conera of the wall and patch it up. After having a shower(with the fan on which is located above the shower) there is still lots of steam. On cold mornings, the steam turns into conensation and it stains the paintwork. help please
