in frustration I've just let the bush grow where it may ...

This barely used mower has been repaired twice by Sears.  It still
does not start.  New fluids, air filter, spark plug.
Any suggestions on how to get it to work?  I cannot imagine going back
to Sears again.  My problem is that after paying for repairs, I

We had a new turf lawn laid just two weeks ago (3rd weekend in May). Th
wrong time of the year probably but it couldn't be helped.
The grass is getting a bit long and we're conscious of the need to cu
it to help the new lawn and stimulate growth but we've been told tha

Could this be affecting our own garden food production?
On a larger scale, in view of the current hoo-hah in the pop media
about world-wide food shortages and skyrocketing local U.S. price

lawn.  I am wondering how they got there.
I have lived here for 20 years and would have noticed them if they

Hello alll,
Please could someone reccomend something which could grow up a trellis
ASAP, has lots of foliage (flowers optional although would be nice),
and can happily sit in a large pot. Or am I asking too much? ;)

I have some pots on my patio with various plants in.
Many of the plants are looking sad. The flowers are opening but ar
brown, limp and soggy.

I clipped a fence wire with my Gladiator 550 resulting in a few teet
shearing from the main drive gear, rendering my machine useless! Ca
anyone put me on the right road with a view to sourcing parts?  Ne
searches have proved fruitless so I'm pretty stumped!!  Cheers.

Does anyone have one of these?  I need a fast growing tree for shade
and I understand this one to grow fast.  I did some looking on google

on a good shade tree that grows fast would be appreciated!  Thanks!

wonder what success I will have rooting cuttings, winter survival,
disease resistance, etc. Aside from a description that it's an

I wanted to see how everyone is doing with their gardens this year. I
