I like bonzais. I just cant decide whether it's cruel to curb a plants growth and stunt it to show our artistic side.

I really like calla lillies and white freesia, but I think those just bloom once and die. I want something that I can put into a flowerpot that looks like a vase.

I am looking for a web site that has ideas for separated deck with fire pit. Now the catch is, this deck needs to be covered? This is Washington area, and beautiful. Maybe build in BBQ area. Lap pool on lower level of area on the right side of the yard, also a hot tub flowing in lap pool possible with a sauna in design. Idea is to finish the deck that was started and add all these other amenities. This yard is already beautiful. There are animals that come and eat in the fairy setting.
The family likes to entertain out in the back. They want shelter from the rain and still be able to enjoy the out side. The fire pit will eventually be in the center of the deck.
The idea is a good one. I am looking for different web sites with pictures of designs that can fit this description. This is a presentation I am proposing for a final project and portfolio.

Whenever you get a nice flower bulb at the store, its usually pretty big and it always flowers biggest the first year... like tulips do... and then smaller the older they are. I know that sometimes these bulbs divide - but then they are smaller than the originals. So, where do the big new ones come from? Can I somehow make my own from bulbs that I have planted now? Thanks.

We have overhanging eaves on our house and there are vent holes about 1 ft. apart with screening on the inside. Birds have pulled away the screening on 2 holes and have built nests for the past 2 years inside the eaves. I can't figure out how to put new screening up on the interior without taking the eaves apart. If I put screening on the outside, it will look hideous.

Someone suggested spraying your lawn with ammonia to give it a good boost before fertilizing. Does anyone know what the ratio is when you put it into a hose end sprayer?
