Duct Tape Wasp Nest DecoyThis spring I was no sooner enjoying the latest crop of large bamboo stalks than I noticed a menacing wasp nest under construction under my eaves nearby.

Do Different Vegetables "Cross"?Planting squash near cucumbers will not cause them to cross pollinate or taste differently than they should. Even though they are in the same family, Cucurbitaceae, I'm not sure a professional breeder could successfully cross them in a lab.

Dental Service Without Insurance?I'm in bad need of help. I live in California around San Bernardino. I have bad toothache where I had broken a tooth around a year ago. I have no insurance.

We watched as the mother duck hesitantly came back to the nest, took some of the broken eggs (one at a time), and flew away with them. It was so sad.

Electricity Is Out Upsatirs?I live in an old 2 story home build in the 70s and the electricity stopped working all throughout the upstairs.
