she's here

I have 2 hibiscus perennial bushes, One has been sick this yr. I believe it has rust problems. I have tried to treat it several times....I'm wondering it I should just dig it up. Does this rust come from the ground? I know it spreads air-borne. But at this point, I'm lost, don't want to loose the bush, but don't want my other plants infected..... The other one is beautiful! But it's about 200 feet away from the infected one. Zone 7..

The 2 that I bought and put in my rose garden are huge. The flowers are a creamy white in color. I love the foliage and the easy care of this plant. However, they are so happy were I put them, that they are shading the roses. And growing in with the roses. I mean, the foliage of both are combined together. I should have known better, but I goofed. Now I'm wanting to transplant these euphorbia's. Does anyone have some of these bushes? And have you ever transplanted them? Thanks in advance

And if so, how many pounds of potatoes did you end up with? I'm trying this as a experiment this year.

This is a trailer pod, I use for storage. The roof is flat. I have 2- 55 gals barrel's for the community garden. They are raised up on 3 wooden pallets. How can I collect rain water off that flat roof, for these rain barrels?

Comfrey is a herb, some folks use for medicine or/& compost. It is said, that it is good for braking up clay soil. And that it adds nutrients to the soil. But I'm trying to figure out if it can be planted in a vegetable garden or should it be planted outside/around the garden. Does anyone have any experience with this plant?

Anyone got any ideas, on what kind of material I would use for home-made, water-proof, name-plates for a community garden?.....We have 4 large,raised beds, sectioned off, so each gardener has their own plot...I want to place their names in each plot. Any wisdom, or crafty folks out there that have done this? Or know of a cheap & easy way to accomplish this?

does anybody know what black-jack soil is? what it's made from? Is it good for growing veggie's? How does it hold water? Does it have N-P-K in it? Any idea's on how to amend it?

I got the bulbs way to early, I kept them in the frig. for about 8 wks. They were starting to look rough. So I went ahead and put them in the ground Dec. 2011. I'm in zone 7. Now it is Jan. 2012. I noticed that they have started coming out of the ground. We have 2 more months at least of winter, will they bloom this coming spring? Or are they gonna bloom during the winter months coming up? This is the 1st time I tried tulips, so I'm experimenting. Any wisdom out there for me would be so appreciated.

She's new on the job. Has a great personality, a pretty white smile, and the boss and men customer's think, she's all that and more. My husband has become very interested in her. To the point that, like the rest of the married men, he tries to be there, when she is....At 1st, it really bothered me, we have had words over him giving her so much of his attention........I have had a word of prayer with her, but she seems to enjoy the attention. She is married.....Anyways, I got tired of it, and I told my husband, if she can take him away from me, she could have him!.....I'm just tired of the BS. Not only did that shock him, but things have seemed to settle down a little, as far as my husband is concerned.....However, she acts like she misses his attention, and does things to try and get it back....Such as; I can be working with her a hour or more, me and her do not speak to each other, I moved to another dept. in the same building....My husband will come to visit with me, and she makes it a point, to make her presents known in front of me, while he is there!.....Just pisses me off to no end....I know she wants to piss me off enough to find another job. Because, I've been there for 13yrs. But my boss, has made it clear to me, he will not put up with my jealousy of her, on the job. In other words, I'm out, she's in...... She does not act like this when the boss is there, so he don't understand the problem....And my boss is 1 of my husbands best friends, so he may know more than he is leading me to believe.....I'm so frustrated with this situation....opinions, please.....And no, her husband does not know.

I need ammonium sulfate in my 5000-sq.ft lawn; they say it requires 1-lb of nitrogen per 1000 sq.ft. They gave me ammonium sulfate 21-0-0. Anyone know how to figure this? I have confused myself trying. Help would sure be appreciated.

My test saids my soil pH is 6.4. But I have excessive amounts of Phosphorus and calcium. Low amounts of Potassium. I can fix the potassium part. My concern is the Phosphorus and calcium being high. I live in zone 7. And plan to plant vegetables in this soil next spring. That gives me about 6 to 7 months to work this soil. Any advice would be great!......and this is a very small plot. The size of a kiddie pool.

I have a dry, hot slope of red clay. I have already removed what little bit of grass that was there and tilled it up. Then I put down black landscape fabric and a layer of mulch. I started planting different kinds of plants, such as lambs ear, dusty miller, day lillys, etc. I basically, dig a hole, use this mixture and put in the plant. Now I'm wondering if I'm using the right mix. Everything seems to be doing good right now, but I'm kinda worried about the long term effects of this mixture. Anyone know about this?

Yes, I'm painting. I have a long kitchen/dining room combo. With a cabinet bar separating them. 1side of kitchen is cabinets top/bottom. With silver/black appliances on top as well as white stove/stove hood/frig. on floor. Dining room has 2 small walls; then there's 1 long wall that goes from dining room through kitchen with nothing on it.

The bottom cabinets are going to be a antique blueish/silver

The top cabinets and the trim are going to be a very pale whitish blue. With some glass inserts

The back splash is going to be stainless steel

I want to make the long wall an accent wall. Not to bright, but not to dark. And that will blend good with the colors, I've picked so far------any ideas out there?

I was told 8 months ago, that my cholesterol was high. 225 total level. Triglyceride were 95. I changed my whole lifestyle because I refused the statins; stopped smoking; exercises on a daily basis; lots of fruits, veggies and fiber galore. I recently got checked again; 223 total level. A little drop. I do have high blood pressure in which I take meds for. My HDL was low; LDL borderline; triglyceride still 95. Am I missing something here? What else can I do, to lower this with out statins? Or am I on the right tract, if I continue on this course, will the cholesterol continue to fall? Also, I'm tired all the time. My thyroid has been checked, it's in good shape. I'm 50yrs. old and feel like I'm loosing control of my body. I need some good advice.

Does mega bytes mean the amount of memory that can held or the amount of memory already in there? Example; In windows live there are 2.78 MB. I need to settle a bet on this, HELP!

does all the shine have to come off? I just started this project in my kitchen. It's all 1960's dark stained wood. I want to paint it and brighten it up. So do I just ruff it up a little or does all the shiny have to come off?

I take calcium with vitamin D and magnesium. I also take fish oil. But my joints are starting to act up when I exercise. Mainly, elbows and knees. I was wondering if anyone has tried this new stuff out that suppose to help with your joints, such as i-flex. And if you have, does it work for you? And do you think it would be safe to take with my other vitamins?

I eat right, I exercise on a daily basis, I get 7 to 10 hrs. of sleep. I'm 50yrs. old and I'm tired all the time. I do have high blood pressure, to which I take meds for. I've had every kind of test someone can think of. Except the thyroid and that's coming here in Dec. But I'm so runned down. I work part time outside the home. All kids grown and gone. Any wisdom out there, that could help me out would be appreciated.

I want to add glass to some of my kitchen cabinet doors. Can I use the ones I have and have the middle cut out and then glass added? Or do I have to have them custom made? Also, I want a stainless steel back splash, does that come in sheets or tiles? Thanks for any advice or ideas.

I was just wondering if they work. They are suppose to reflect heat in the house and cold air out. Then vise-versa in the summer time. They say you can see out, but no one can see in. They kinda look like aluminum foil, from the out side looking in.
