Q:the space available is about 3x1.5 ft.i prefer nice flower plantslive in chennai, indiaany suggstions??

The first answer was absolutely right on - BUT have you considered xeroscaping? (using native plants to conserve water) Use nice (big and smaller) rocks and various sizes of flowering plants, make a small hill and use small rocks to create a dry stream bed, plant only perrennials so you don;'t have to keep replanting every year. Use annuals sparingly just for color. And to see what grows really well, look at your neighbors' yards - what are they growing and how do they look? Happy Gardening!

Hi Georgina-- Things just haven't been updated yet. Keep your eyes on this sight…

Q:I lost my favorite recipe from a cookbook my grandmother gave me. I know the cookbook was Better Homes and Gardens, most likely published in the 1960's as a souvenir edition. The specific recipe was for lasagna on page 166. Does anyone else have the same recipe?

Well, it's page 182 in my mother's old BHG cookbook. I can't tell you what year it's from other than the 50s or 60s because the first few pages are gone and the binder is held together with carton sealing tape! But some of these recipes are the same as in my edition from 1982 and some are totally different so I've kept both books. Lasagne (notice how it's spelled with an e at the end!) 1 pound Italian sausage, bulk pork sausage or ground beef 1 clove garlic, minced 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley 1 Tablespoon basil 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1-pound can (2 cups) tomatoes 2 6-ounce cans (1 1/3 cups) tomato paste 10 ounces lasagne or wide noodles 2 12-ounce cartons (3 cups) large-curd cream-style cottage cheese 2 beaten eggs 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 pound Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin Brown meat slowly; spoon off excess fat. Add next 6 ingredients to meat. Simmer, uncovered, till thick, 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cook noodles in boiling, salted water till tender; drain; rinse in cold water. Combine cottage cheese and next 5 ingredients. Place half the noodles in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; spread half the cottage cheese mixture over; add half the Mozzarella cheese and half the meat mixture. Repeat layers. Bake in moderate oven (375 F) 30 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before cutting in squares. Makes 12 servings. I sure hope this is what you were looking for after all this typing! Enjoy your lasagna!

Q:I want to grow a garden this year and I know bugs/insects will most likely attack my fruits and vegetables. What are some natural products that I can spray on my fruits and veggies to protect them? I don't really want to use any harmful chemicals. I'm already planning to buy granules that keep ants away that I will set around the garden but I have more than just ants to worry about so anything natural/organic to repel all these unwanted pests would be great if you guys can help. Thank you.

LOL! You're new. There is NOTHING. You fight your battles when they start, no way before. And ants don't hurt a thing. If anything, they help aerate the soil

Q:In the book it describes different ways you can use stuff that you would throw away, ex. such as lint from a dryer, you would save it and put it in a orange bag so the birds can go to it and make their nests. Another example from the book, it tells you that you can take a kiddie pool and make your own little pond by digging a hole and placing the pool in the hole, then you simply get water plantlife and create an exotic mini-pond. Another tip it gives is by planting tomatoes in 5-gallon buckets and hanging them upside down for clean big and red tomatoes. Also there is one where it says you can plant potatoes in a 5-gallon bucket and when they are ready for picking you can just dump out the bucket for easier harvesting. If anyone has any idea of the name of the book please respond. The title has something to do with saving you loads of money throughout the year.

This okorder . You can search for the book by catagory. I would start with home and garden. You might also want to try search phrases like money saving tips, home recycling tips, and others. I'll bet it won't take you long to find it. Good luck with your search.

How much do you charge to bathe a small dog?

Q:He is currently incarcerated at SCI Camp Hill, PA, awaiting reclassification to a quot;Homequot; facility. Getting him a subscription should wait until he's transferred to whatever facility he is assigned to for the balance of his time to be served.

I don’t know how long your grandson will be there I can only assume longer than one year. If his stay is less than one year would it not be easier to send a locally purchased copy from your post office? I also assume you want to send more than one magazine to your grandson, most magazines can be sent as gifts that will be charged to your credit card! That can be renewed if need be! To wait for his permanent location is a good idea as the magizine subscription needs an address to send to that is not temporary! Your grandson should get his current address upon transfer. If you live close enough to your grandson you can always hand carry the monthly issue on visiting days and give it to him that way!

Q:Would you rather live in your home, or garden?

I would rather live in garden.
