The flowers started out crimson, but after I sprayed for Japanese beetles the flowers are now blooming hot pink. Also, what kind of PH do I need to keep the flowers crimson?

Answer:
from this site… http://solutionsforyourlife.ufl.edu/hot_topics/lawn_and_garden/new_red_crape_myrtles.html “All crape myrtles need full sun. This is especially true with red-flowered crape myrtles since shade or cloudy weather can cause some selections to lose their red flower color.” pH and spraying is not affecting your plant….. red is not subject to change from soil pH… and it wouldn’t happen in a weeks time, anyway… color change from soil pH takes a couple years in plants like Hydrangea….. I have a red that is so dependent on sunlight to stay red that too many cloudy days at the bud break time will cause them to come out with white tips, petticoats!!… it’s called picotee in some flowers and is desireable, but not so on clear reds!!…..

Many times wewould like additional lighting but we donot want lights which are too bright. We need something delicate we can use to attention a selected feature. A massive fixture with a long cord is the very last thing we want. A Led light rope might be just what you want in these circumstances.

Light rope is a term which is used for a selection of accent lights which are made as along tube rather than an individual fixture. A light rope will sometimes have many half watt micro bulbs which are inside a flexible resin tube. The tubes come in both coloured and clear. Light ropes are safe for use outside and inside and can be employed to give light lighting wherever you need it.

Theyare available in both 120 volt and 12 volt styles. One of the best things about light ropes is that you don’t need to replace the small bulbs. Light ropes which are built right should last for roughly 35,000 hours. This will permit you to use them for many years even if you use them every day for one or two hours.

The light bulbs in the rope are most often placed around one in. apart and produce about 6 watts per foot. It’ll take around 10 feet of light rope to provide light equal to a60 wall bulb. The tubes stay cool to touch and will not create a fire hazard. You can put these lights just about anywhere. When used indoors they’re employed to draw attention to mantels, cupboards, and shelves.

Dark corridors and closets can be made safer with the use of light ropes. Some folk like to hang them around doors and windows for a nice impact. You can also use them as safety lighting going up a stairway or around individual steps. For exterior use you can put your light ropes around decks, trails, and steps to give added security and safety to your home. Read about rope lights in vehicles.

Receding gums, also known as gingival recession is a very common problem targeting especially middle aged persons. It is easily defined as the loss of tissue (mucosal) over the jaw bone, which may manifest in root exposure.

What causes the gum recession?- Over aggressive tooth brushing is one cause of receding gums because of the gum line and enamel corrosion caused by the harsh movement and pressure of the brush bristles.

Bad oral hygiene leads to serious bacterial accumulation which also leads to the break-down of bone and teeth enamel. For the gums, gum disease or periodontal disease is the problem to avoid. 

Symptoms- The symptoms range from discomfort, pain, inflammation and irritation in the gum tissue to profound root exposure, sensitivity and gum line caries.

Treatment options- Start your treatment routine through prevention. Modern dentistry currently has no known cures  for receding gums except gum grafts which may not suit everyone. Cut your chance of developing the problem by at least half by merely practicing good, daily oral hygiene – with gentle brushing movements

Natural Treatment Options- Fantastic natural treatment options are available in your garden or kitchen to treat the symptoms associated with the problem effectively while also being very affordable. For gum disease you could try essential oils such as ora-md which contains the natural oils of almond, peppermint and spearmint.

Sage herb has incredible astringent properties to tighten the gum areas gently while also relieving discomfort and perhaps pain generally associated with the recession. Add a couple of sage leaves to boiling water, strain and bathe the affected areas of the mouth twice daily.

Tea tree oil has both anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties thus not only treating but also preventing the problem by reducing bacteria build-up. Add a couple of drops oil to warm water, flushing the affected areas no more than twice daily.

Medical advice- It is essential to seek medical advice from a general practitioner or dentist should the pain, discomfort or any of the mentioned symptoms worsen. Your physician should give the OK or preferably recommend any treatment for the problem.

They are not quite as big as the ones I buy at the store for stuffed pepper recipes .The poblanos are about 4 inches long.The anneheims about 7 but a couple have dark pigmetation stripes on the edge.

Answer:
Those Anaheim’s are ready now, though you CAN let them go fully red and dry them for ground chile. The poblanos mature a little later, have a longer growing cycle, but can be picked at any point. They are great if allowed to go full red and dried for use in red sauces. Most peppers can be picked at whatever size you’d like for the dish you are making.

My neighbor lives down a slope from me, and our downspouts are not buried, and she swears that she is getting excess water on her property because of the water from our downspouts. Our neighbor also lives on the lowest plot of land on our street, and I think that she is getting water from everyone on our street and that it’s her responsibility to provide drainage for her lot. But, she is constantly yelling at us when she sees us, and has called the police, the county engineer to complain. They all say that we are not obligated to bury our downspouts. BUT, now she has been threatening to file a lawsuit, and honestly, we are just sick of her approaching us belligerently everytime we are outside. So, we’ve decided to bury our downspouts AND get a privacy fence. We are doing both things ourselves. Is there anything we need to be careful about – that people may often forget about when using a trencher and/or building a fence- I do not want to do anything that will give my neighbor any right to complain.

Answer:
Contact all your utility providers (water, electric, gas, cable, etc.) and they will send someone to mark where any underground utilities are located. Do a little research before you bury your downspouts because you have to provide a drain field. When you build the fence, be sure you have the proper permits, etc., and build it entirely on your side of the property line. I’m saying all this because this nuisance of a neighbor is going to look for any excuse to call an inspector, etc. I think you’re making a wise decision to address her drainage complaint and then block her out of your sight. Good luck.

My room got rly moldy and I cleaned it up, but it still smells like mold. And I touched my wall and it feels so wet that you can put your hand in it. Wat should I do? Would have told the landlord when the mold problem started but my mom said not to, (I don’t know why) and I want to tell her now, but my mom still says no.

Answer:
Mold can be a huge health problem. Tell your mom again. Your whole family could get very ill.
