For most of us, the laundry room is probably the least interesting and least glamorous room in our home. Traditionally little if any thought has ever been given to its design or appearance. Just put in a washer and dryer and maybe some shelves and call it a day. That’s been the attitude, and now that’s changing.
Q: Recently you mentioned that clematis can grow in Las Vegas. I would like to grow these very attractive vines here. Which ones do you recommend?
Over the past few years, you might have noticed that downtown Las Vegas has become a hot spot — not just for its hip, funky bars and restaurants but also for its neighborhoods full of vintage homes.

Q: After 17 years of growing tomatoes, I feel I have depleted most of the nutrients so I am going to dig it up, remove it and replace it with new soil. My idea is to lay down a layer of fruit pulp in a sufficient quantity and then cover with at least 12 inches of planter’s mix. I would do fish guts but I can’t find any quantity.

Dear Gail: Recently my Mom took a couple bad falls and is showing signs of dementia. I feel she can no longer be home alone. My position requires a lot of traveling, and having her with me would not be the right decision now. I decided that an assisted-living community would be best as she would be around people 24/7. What suggestions can you give me that will make this transition as smooth as possible in setting up her new home? Thank you. — Laraine
