also the bottom draw keeps freezing the veggies and ruining them, are these two problems related, is there hope for this fridge or is it time for a new one?

Callery pears (Bradford, Cleveland, Aristocrt) are indeed beautiful, early to flower, almost disease free, great summer and late autumn color. Fast growing, too. But I think they're too common in the midwest. The great old neighborhoods have mature hardwoods: red oaks, pin oaks, sugar maples, etc. Do you think homeowners in new subdivisions should plant more hardwoods? Even though payback is 15 -20 years away?

I just finished laying a new commercial-grade vinyl tile floor in a room in my basement. It needs to be sealed and polished. What are the best products and methods to accomplish this?

It shouldn't need to be stripped as it's a brand new floor and has never been coated with anything before. (Or should I strip it anyway?)

Our house was built in early 70s and my dad installed a brand new wardrobe only 2years ago. But I've been mnoticing since last summer that any clothes in there have a mouldy smell and some have mildew on them. I don't think it's a damp problem coz I had a coat dry cleaned and hung it back in its bag and lately took it out to wear and it wa sruined. Any ideas or suggestions on how to prevent this? please

Hi- The seed pods of my Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are still on the soft side with white seeds inside.
These came up wild late summer in an excuvators topsoil. I was, and am deliriously happy as I rememember these from my youth.
I have 'wild' pink m.g.'s and their pods are brown, crispy and full of black seeds.
My neighbor gave me some heirloom morning gloriy seeds and they are just now blooming and they are BLUE, too!! Oh happy day! ( It doesn't take much ) How can I preserve these seeds and/or roots for years to come?
