Q:im a total beginner. i hv a medium yard n im in Canadawhat are the easiest fruit and / or veggie plants 2 grow in ur first garden? by any chance, can i grow blueberries/raspberries/strawberries??

Res berries and straw berries are pretty simple. You can buy a few plants and they will pretty much take care of themselves. Give them plenty of space as they will spread if allowed. I've never done blueberries but I think they are the same pretty much. Tomato and peppers are easy as well. Buy the baby plants in the spring and water when dry. Most seeded vegetables are relatively simple. Follow the directions on the seed package. Also put a shot or 2 of miracle grow on you plants every week or so. Hope this helps. Growing a garden can be very rewarding.

Q:its a better homes and gardens full length mirror and comes with quot;easy to install hardware.quot; the hardware are two little triangle things hinged onto a square shaped part with a hole on the end. does that make sense? i guess one way to say it is that its shaped lke a little house, a square and triangle on top as the roof but the triangle is a hook and rather than a door there is a little circle which im assuming a nail goes. and it also came with two screws. my question is do i screw the nail and the little quot;housequot; into the mirror and then hang them on a nail on my wall?plese help i don't want to mess up the mirror

You hang a mirror just like you hang a picture. You screw your little triangle things on the sides of your mirror, hook a cable between them, and hook the cable to a hanger you've screwed into a stud of the wall.

Q:Some part of my home garden is covered with ground covering plants (some type of ivy with networked roots). The garden is full of weeds and small trees. If I use Preen or other type of chemicals, can I get rid of weeds? I'm thinking removing all the ground covering and weeds, and cover the area with mulch. If there is a way to have ground covering with weeds well controlled, I may try it. I appreciate your input.

If you think getting rid of ivy is easy, than hand picking weeds is so much easier. ;)

Q:Is there any home remedies to get rid of crickets?

They are called Mole Crickets and you are not the only yard around to have them. You can apply diazinon or malathion granules to your lawn and kill them for the moment. You'll have to apply the stuff every couple of weeks though, your neighbors have them too and unless everyone treats for them, they will migrate back within a few days. The granules are available at your local home supply, hardware or nursery store.

Q:If you had to pick would it be home or garden?

There's no place like home.

Your chilly water pipe isn't GROUNDED it fairly is BONDED. in case you do not comprehend the version you shouldn't be doing any electric powered artwork. however if it replaced into grounded( which may well be a risk something grounded incorporates electric powered modern under usually operation) is might have not something to do with the merchants on your place. you basically would desire to run a sparkling cable(14-2 w ith floor or 12-2 with floor) from you panel to the opening and thoroughly re-feed it with a sparkling circuit with a sparkling GROUNDING conductor in it. including a grounding twine to a circuit wth out a grounding conductor isn't code and is risky.
