I know the first thing I'm going to be told is get rid of standing water, but that's next to impossible because it's been raining alot here and I have many low areas in my yard where water collects.
The reason I would like to get rid of the mosquitoes without poison is because of my dog, who plays in and drinks from the puddles of water in my yard. Are there any products or methods that would help without making my dog sick?

We thought that after our unusually cold winter here in Phoenix that we would have great peaches this spring. They are nice and juicy but not very sweet or flavorful. What are we not doing????

we have a pedestal bird bath made of concrete. because we fill it up with the hose, using city water, it gets really disgusting pretty fast. there's a lovely layer of brown algae on the bottom! scrubbing doesn't get it out, either. i can't use bleach because that would permeate the concrete and pollute the water. any ideas?

My budget is limited, so if the material didn't cost too much that would be great. Thanks.

I'm moving to a new house and my mom is very big on growing flowers. But the land is kinda sandy and there is alot of shade there. Does anyone have any good suggestions of flowers that would look good and won't have a problem growing there?

We bought a plant/tree a couple of years ago and planted it at the front of the house. It is growing like mad and now seems to be blooming a kind of crazy triffid from the top. Some of its leaves are going brown and yellow so i need to know what it is so i can find out how to care for it! I cant upload a pic so i will try to describe it.

Its now about 5ft high and has long spiky green leaves which either stick up or droop down over it as they get longer. It has a failry thin (can get hands around it) brown trunk but the leaves grow out of it pretty much all the way down. It now has what looks like something flowering out of the top.

I'm not sure if its some kind of yucca plant but i cant seem to find a pic on the net that looks like it. Would appreciate any help!

This is the first year I have had sprouts already started on my bulbs. I was told to leave them uncovered but it seems that the sun would burn them. I have had these bulbs for years and don't want to lose them.

I know this is really sketchy and wrong, but I was wondering, is it safe to buy marijuana seeds online? (I realize it's illegal) but would you actually get them? or would you get them without getting in trouble? this is for america only

IM NOT PLANNING ON BUYING THEM! i'm a student and I have to write a report on "how easily" a person can get drugs in america even though our society deems it illegal.

*also, if you don't know much about the matter, but have an opinion on marijuana, I would like to hear it so I can also add it to my paper.*

thank you

I live in Kentucky. And my Hostas and Day Lillies were just starting to look good when my husband decided to weed eat this afternoon. He said they looked like "weeds" to him. I could have KILLED him. All that is left are little STUBS where the plants used to be. Is there any hope for the plants to return any time soon? Or are they done for the season?
