Q:I'm working on decorating my apartment bit by bit and I've come to where I want to get a living room rug. The room is about 12x15ft so everything is rather close together. All the walls are beige/off-white and so is the couch in the middle of the room. Each of the pieces of furniture (desk, side table, coffee table, tv stand) are a dark wood, and so is the wood floor, and the main color accents in the room are red, orange, yellow, olive green, and blue-green, with some colorful art I've been making for the walls. Basically, every color that has red or yellow in it.

Red is pretty. I'd shoot for a company going out of business, can get a 3k persian rug for $150 in some places. - I live in Illinois, 23, think and spend wisely -- but, look good. :)

Q:how to prevent a squirrell from eating the flowers and messing up the garden?

You will not deter Grey Squirrels, they are persistent pests. If you have Red Squirrels you are extremely fortunate, and they are protected by law. Grey Squirrels ? I just shoot them.

Q:Does anyone have any idea on how I can find either the lid or a replacement Home Garden Party Sunflower Crock? I've been looking everywhere, but can't seem to find one.

Check at thrift stores or rummage sales.

Q:I've just started looking around for infomation about trees and growing zones. There are a few I'm intersted in finding out more about, but cant seem to find the infomation I'm looking for *prob because I'm not in the right gowing zone*.Anyway, does anyone have a good site in general about trees?I'm looking for information about Ebony Trees and growing them, I'm also looking for willow tree infomation, japanese maple infomation, and general tree care/planting.Thanks

It would be more possible to help you if you said where you lived!

Q:why doesn't my home have a garden?

Well Ninja Kangaroo, first, somebody's got to say this home needs a garden. Then somebody needs to be willing to dig in the dirt, add things to the dirt, learn about plants, trees, flowers, decide what the garden is going to contain, shop for the plants, put them in the ground, feed, water, pull weeds, mulch, give that garden a lot of tender loving care to nurture it into a lovely, joyous addition to the home.

Q:How can I enrich my home vegetable garden?

take john poole`s advice,it`s real good !

Q:There are a lot of little projects that I would like to do in my home. It was my mother-in-law's home so I would be able to know the history going back 30 years. How should I prioritize the following projects (especially if we plan on living in the home between 5-10 years)?-9 Replacement Windows (currently very drafty single-pane, wood frames) -A friend mentioned that the home's insulation may be shot (not sure) would this be a better investment than windows?-Bathroom (sq. footage unknown but not very large, I would say 8ftx6ft space includes sink/tub/toilet small built-in cabinet)-Kitchen (again, sq. footage unknown but cabinets are 30+ years old and there are only 3 lower cabinets, 2 small drawers and very little counter space)-Landscaping

I'd say immediately have the windows replaced with vinyl framed double glazed Low-E -- that's the biggest energy waster. Next, I'd say blow more attic insulation -- up to about R 38 in the South and about R 48 up north, if there's room in the attic. Walls are important, but not nearly as important as windows and ceiling insulation. Landscaping can be done pretty much all year long, as long as the ground isn't frozen -- trees and shrubs transplant best in about Feb here in TX. Kitchen and bath -- ask wifey, she'll know that answer.

Q:Is there a gardening site that lets you make a online garden picking plants and all?

There should be some sort of contact information on the bill. It's probably an outside billing company, though, and not Better Homes Garden, but this certainly won't ruin or even affect your credit.

Q:I am looking for a site that allows you to input your homes dimensions and colors, then helps to plot a landscape for your home.

Better Homes and Gardens web site has a plan a garden and landscape plan design feature. You have to register - but it is free and will help you pick plants according to your climate zone. There are a few others - but I have had good luck with this site. I am a Master Gardener with Purdue and an Indiana Master Naturalist have used this site to help many people. Best of Luck!!
