Home & Garden - 16 October 2007

This is the first year I've tried Brussell Sprouts in my garden. We live in north central BC, and planted in the spring. My stalks are now full of them as big as the end of my thumb. We've had a few frosts already and are wondering if we pick them now or wait or what? Thanks in Advance

I have a pair of white shoes that are a little dirty. They are not leather they are some kind of fabric and I want to clean them but I don't know how. I tried taking them to a cleaners but no cleaners can do it so I was thinking maybe I could wash them in the washing machine with laundry detergent and bleach to get them really white again then letting them air dry. Will this work or is putting them in the washing machine a bad idea? Will the bleach turn them yellow instead of white? What should I do to get them clean and really white again?

A: Does anyone have that? How does it look? The fireplace is the focal point of the room.
B: Where would we put our dvd player, VCR, cable box.etc.. If I get an entertainment center would it look okay since fireplace is in the middle of the wall and what size should it be? Thank you in advance.

When I was a kid I was allergic to either straw or hay, not sure which. It was whatever my brother brought home in a scarecrow. What is the difference between the two?

I have an Evergreen Wisteria, not to be confused with the Chinese Wisteria. It is already about 4 feet tall but not too thick. Where can I grow it? I was thinking of planting it next to my wooden fence and just helping it along with pegs/wire. Will it take to the fence and create a nice display of flowers? Or will it overtake with too much weight on the fence. Please do help, I am in Zone 9 Houston TX.

I spread out fescue today and had a customer request me to spread out "Sevin" granular insecticide. I was thinking that it was kind of late to do this, and i also was worried that it might harm the seed.

Can anyone here tell me?

Thanks!

About one week ago i purchased a black leather love seat with a matching couch, two end tables a coffee table and two lamps. the majority of the lamp color is black with a gold trim around the body about an inch wide and the top where it holds the lightbulb is also gold. the shade has two thin gold line accents on the top adn bottom. both lamps are the same.
the tables (all three) have a black body with an inset glass that looks like marble (black, grey adn clear) design with a gold trim around them.
my question is what color would be a good accent color? not for the walls but for decoration. i was thinking a deep red color, my carpet is beige but im lookin for an area rug. also maybe gold curtain rods with wine colored curtains? i just want a richer color to add to the room any ideas?

I looked at the circuit breaker box, but all I saw mentioned was 240 volts.
Thank you.

1) Anything I can do to try to get the heat going - what should I check. I don't know how to tell if valve is opened or closed. I have baseboard water heat -- I've heard about bleeding the baseboard units - wd this help -- how many would I have to do this to (just turn the screw on the end, right).
2) What is the best gas boiler, if I need a new one.

This smell used to be in clothes I put in plastic or cardboard boxes to store, now I am noticing it in most of the drawers and in the linen closet in the bathroom, and other places too. Should I change to open shelves? Or do you have other solutions? My house has too much moisture and I run a de-humiditfier part of the time, but still getting that problem in anything stored for more than a few weeks.
Thanks in advance!! LIve well and do good!

The main object was to provide shade in a very hot conservatory but I was hoping, eventually for some grapes. The growth rate has calmed down a bit and I am told that I will have to cut it back. Advice please.

I'm working on a sculpture and need to buy 4x8 sheets of styrofoam, or other rigid foam. I know it is sold at lumberyards, but I was wondering if there is anywhere online I could buy it for cheaper, or if there are other stores I should contact. I am looking to buy in 1, 2, or 4 inch thicknesses. Thanks!
