Q:husband built a beautiful porch with planter boxes on the side I want to grow spices can anyone give me links with how to info and pictures of the plants

You probably mean herbs, not spices. Most spices grow in tropical or subtropical areas. Herbs can be grown in the home garden in Northern America and Europe. I've listed a link for growing herbs. Just stay away from the mints-they are too invasive for a planter box.

Q:I asked this in home gardening, but I think this is where it should be asked. I need a quick fix on how to ground outlets so as i can hook up my satalite receiver computers. Cant afford an electrician to rewire a rental, the landlord is no help.

Ok i'm not a professional but I used to have the same problem in an apartment I used to live in and I bought some outlet adapters at the hardware store. you plug it into the outlet and then you can plug the 3-prong plugs into the adapter. good luck

Q:The recipe is for Blue Cheese Bacon Mini Corn dogs. I was reading the magazine in a dentist's office, and didn't have time to right it down. I figured it would be on the Better Homes Gardens web site, but it isn't, and I couldn't find it any where else on line. Also...would cubed steak taste better than mini hot dogs with the blue cheese and bacon?

Well I see you were given the recipe. I have another suggestion for you. Whenever this has happened to me while waiting in a doctors office, if there's an article that I want to finish reading, etc. I just ask the receptionist if I can take the magazine home with me. They've never said no before. I also like to return the favor by taking my own read magazines and giving them to my doctors offices to add to their collection. Not only am I returning the favor but the magazines are put to good use, a lot better than throwing them away. (my trash company doesn't offer those recycle bins)

Q:I am in college, but I want to start a garden just in case a plague hits. I don't have any physical area (like land) to keep my vegetables. What would be a good place? Maybe large or small pots, or wheel barrel. I also need it to be mobile. Also, can anyone give me the best survivalist websites?

You need a lot of room to grow enough to sustain yourself try Hydroponics, its the only way to grow in a small confined area a lot of pots in an enclosed area is asking for dampness humidity problems and if the dirt is not clean, welcome to gnat city hydroponics can be set up to grow vine type plants that hang from a string to get more yield, but IMHO you wasting your time unless you have a good sized room supplemented with light from outside, if you want to use pots use vermiculite/perlite mixture and powered all purpose hydroponic nutrients you will have to learn how to adjust the PH information is readily available on line on how to do this and what to use as far as being mobile, that is something I would be wanting to see myself hydroponics can be set up and broken down very easy given the right system.

Q:I stopped to listen to a garden speaker at our County Fair last week. I was late didn't hear all he had to say, but he brought up the gardener's quot;Biblequot; several times. I over heard someone at the nursery say something about it too, more then once, but never paid attention before. All I know is it is suspost to be the best book on gardening. A must have for every serious gardener. I've checked at several book stores without luck. My neighbor told me that is not the right name, only the name everyone refers to it. But she didn't know the real name either. Does any one know the real name? I have got to have one. Thank You!

Q:We're selling our house and the house inspector suggested GFI;s in the kitchen. It's a 50 year-old house. Can you put GFI's on a 2 wire electrical system?

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. FIY grounded and grounding are very different. A plug with 2 hollow in it has a grounded twine yet would not have a grounding twine. Ungrounded twine= black= warm grounded twine= white= independent grounding twine=bare or green= kit grounding conductor bonding jumper= vast *** twine run to chilly water pipe in dwelling house(not in contact with merchants) all of the different solutions ARE incorrect MISINFORMED and intensely risky PLEASE call AN ELECTRICIAN THIS interest must be approximately $one hundred twenty five TO RUN a sparkling CIRCUT TO television.

Q:I was just looking through my better homes and gardens new cookbook and found that the page with fruit cobbler is missing!!! Any one else have the book that could give me the recipe? I'd like the recipe for the peach filled cobbler. I've already looked online. Thanks!!!

Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop onto a plate and
