I've heard great things about oxyclean too,
in regards to organic stains. My miracle cleaner of choice is greased lightning, but your best bet to get out any couch stain is a shampooer with a hose attachment. ... View related article.

RE: Gardening Tip - Teepees
That's a great idea Connie! I actually needed to go buy more tomato cages, but we live on a big chunk of land, so finding the appropriate sized downed branches was no problem after the recent storms...

Q: Why not leave the 'leg's untied as it gives the peas just that much more growing room?

RE: Rooting Lilacs
My brother swears by rooting powder for his frangie pannies, but I didn't have much luck with them. On the flip side, when I cut my rosebushes back last year, I trimmed them down and shoved them in an empty pot which I left at the side of the house. I figured, maybe it will work, maybe not, but either way, it doesn't hurt to try.

You will need to cut the stalk down, maybe in half and have 2 cuttings. I would go for foot long sections. Let the bottom of it develop a 'callus' or in other words, let it dry out a little. Pull off any leaves that will end up below the soil line. Dip the base of each cutting in rooting powder and insert about halfway into fertile soil. You also want to make sure they don't have any growing tips at the time you insert it or it won't spend as much time growing roots and more time growing new leaves which will just weaken the rooting in the long run. Leave it alone for at least 6 months. Water it occassionally, when you water your other plants that are in the ground, but otherwise, don't worry about it. ... View related article.
