Garden & Landscape - October 2007

I have MURRAY 20" 4.0hp Quatro Briggs & Stratton. it cuts fine but the sound of the lawn mower goes up and down. The sound of the lawn more goes high and low, but it cut just fine.
It start up just one pull every time. The only problem is the sound of the RPM goes up and down. Please help! Thank you in advance.

First of all...I just purchased 55 plants such as crape myrtle, shrubs, oleander, hibiscus, texas mountain laurel, plumbago, etc at Lowe's. All for $3.25.
You should call your Lowes to see if they have this stuff on the clearance racks too and go take advantage of the cheap prices! They need a little TLC, but still look great!

My question is...the lantanas I purchased did not come with directions. how big do they grow?

thanks!

I hope someone can help! I have a walnut tree in my garden which has recently produced lots of walnuts :) They have been lying on the ground for a while and their husks have in most cases rotted away entirely, leaving the recognizable walnut shells. I have collected them all in a bag. They are damp as it has been raining a lot. I'm worried I left them too long outside getting damp. Does anyone know if they are still ok to eat and should I dry them for a period of time? Sorry if it's a silly question!

Brand new topsoil was installed a few weeks ago and raked.

I live in South-East England and it is currently wet and 15C in the day and 10C at night but it is expected to get milder in the next few days.

I'm trying to find the general weather prediction for the month of October from the Old Farmers Almanac, and am having a heck of a time finding a 2007 version! Looks like the 2008 was just released, and my local library already recycled the 2007 (despite the fact that Oct 2007 is covered in the 2007 version... and we've just entered October...). The info I'm seeking is the part where they give predictions for chunks of days, like "Oct 1-5 partially sunny, Oct 6-10 humid and clear" etc. along with anything on temps & rain being above/below average. I'm in Region 2 (CT) and would love if anyone has the 2007 version to relay the predictions for all of October - thanks so much!

About 2 weeks ago I saw a deep blue spiderweb, has anyone ever seen this? What type of spider is this, I've looked online and found nothing. The top of the web was normal as was the bottom, but in between was a blue orb like web. I've never seen anything like it, I though it was just the sunlight hitting it in a certain way, but I looked at it from all angles and it trully was blue on just the orb.

I've had my bonsai plant/tree in same pot over a year now, and think I may need to transplant it to a larger pot. But I'm afraid I may disturb or damage roots, if and when I do.

We have had heavy rain lately and the community pools have developed a large muddy spot like a swamp! It is where people have to walk through all the time and people are slipping over. We have to use this walk way and putting stuff over it stops the grass coming back.

I have heard you can burn them out but open fires are not permitted. Would a hammer drill be able to drill into granite? I was thinking if you could drill holes in them you could pour in water and hope the freezing action over the winter would do the trick. I know there is a product that expands in drilled holes and breaks up concrete but that wold be very expensive for the job I have to do. All suggestions are appreciated.

We want to get a very special gift for Mom's caregiver, and she had mentioned in passing an old-timey rose bush called "peach rose". She described the flowers as pink (not peach colored as I would have thought), and miniature, in small clusters. She said you don't see it too much anymore, but it might help me locate it if I knew more about it. Her description was a little sketchy.
Does anyone out there know what she's talking about - and even better, where I could find it? Thanks for any help you can give!

If you walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you'll see lots of fans maintaining their favorite celebrity's star. At Stonehenge, there are Druid worshippers. In every yard in every subdivision across America, there are homeowners meticulously tweaking the landscaping around their phone, cable TV and electric boxes. What's the dealio. Why do you do it! Have the utility companies every complained?

Something quick growing would be ideal. Pregrown lawn is out of the question as it has to fit into eco-blocks.
