: I have a mature lemon tree with discolored leaves. The edges of the leaf have yellowed and the rest of the leaf is green. The leaves have been in this condition for years. I have had very good lemon crops every year except when the wind blows the blossoms off. I deep water once a week during the summer. The tree appears to be very healthy except for the yellowed edges of the leaves; can you help me with this problem?
“The adventure of the sun is the great natural drama by which we live, and not to have joy in it and awe of it, not to share in it, is to close a full door on nature’s sustaining and poetic spirit.” Henry Beston (1888-1968), American writer and naturalist, “Midwinter,” “The Outermost House” (1928)
: I have a house that I rent to a family with small children. In the bathroom (coincidentally where the children take their baths), I have water damage along both sides of the tub down to the floor. I have had the damage repaired, but what can I do to prevent this from happening again?
As temperatures drop, crickets and other vermin will try to find entrances into your home. If you apply pesticides around the outside of your home, now would be a good time to do that. Spray should be directed to where the home meets the soil. You might also spray inside irrigation boxes where so many pests like roaches and black widow spiders like to congregate. There are some organic sprays that can be used but they are usually not persistent and may have to be reapplied at a later date.
As the hot summer days trade in their excessive heat for cooler evenings and comfortable temperatures, Las Vegans are turning off the air conditioning, opening the windows and, yes, spending more time outside. Autumn is arguably the most inviting and pleasant season in the Las Vegas Valley, so what better way to enjoy it than with friends and family in your own backyard?
Many of us are focused on the economy right now. It seems that every day brings news of unprecedented financial change. The topic is complex but there is a fundamental component that comes to mind as both an opportunity and solution for many. It is the concept of simple living. It is the opposite of a near-trillion dollar corporate bailout, but has the potential to be many times more powerful and effective.
: On my side yard I have grass that leads to a backyard patio. I would like to install stepping stones as a walkway leading to the patio. I want to keep the grass, but I don’t want to set the stones right on top of the grass. How can I accomplish this?
As with so many things that we take for granted, the phrase “take a seat” has a long history. The seat part, that is. I had never thought much about how long the chair had been around until I was studying for a design exam.
Chinese artisans have copied Western wares for centuries. In the early 18th century, they made shiploads of dishes in the European style that were ordered with special monograms, crests or other designs. By the end of the 18th century, dishes could be ordered to fill in existing sets of dishes.
Mention Donald Trump’s name and images of luxury and richness come to mind. So, it’s not surprising that the latest offering from Trump Home is as grand as its namesake.
Some rooms are just plain dull. And that’s not the same thing as ugly — in fact, dull can be even worse than ugly.
I’ve been designing for more than 17 years and have seen just about every type of home and decorating style. Over time, I’ve seen a common thread through most of the homes. So today I’m going to share with you “The Seven Deadly Decorating Mistakes.”
