Vertical Gardening in PotsAt the beginning of the season I select one plant of each type at a nearby nursery. I cut off each stem about an inch from the bottom. I cut all but the top 2 leaves off of each stem and place the stems in various sized jars of water to root. In a week or two the roots grow long enough to plant them in pots. By this time the original plants have grown up once again and are blooming.

Why Did My Dog Die So Fast?My 10 year old Shi Tzu mix died very suddenly. Within minutes of my husband letting her and her sibling outside to go potty she was gone.

Our neighbor saw them running towards the fence where he was working and then he saw one dog was running around and Daisy was laying on the ground next to the fence.
John Deere L 120 Won't Crank?I have a John Deere L 120 that won't crank. I put a new battery in and can hear it trying to crank, but it doesn't.

Singer 9022 Bobbin Winder Not Turning?I purchased my Singer 9022 new and have had this machine for many years. It's been amazing, however, now my bobbin winder won't wind.

I removed all screws (3) that I saw, but there's something else holding it down.

Concord Grapes Small and Not Flavorful?I planted 3 year old seeded Concord grapes about 5-6 years ago. I have never gotten a good harvest yet. I have plenty of grapes on the vines, but for the last three years the grapes have all been small and fairly flavorless. I do get a lot of vine growth during the summer. I live in Idaho and most my neighbor's grapes are great. I want to use my grapes for juicing. What am I doing wrong?

The battery reads 12 volts on a meter. I checked the electrical connections. The battery cable is clean and tight. I turned the blades manually and moved the engine shaft. Nothing works. Any ideas?
Identifying a Porcelain Doll?Can anyone help me find any information on this doll? He's at least 28+ years old, about 40 cm, with a porcelain head, and the body is made of cloth. There are no marks on him. The clothes are sewed on to his body, his face and eyes are painted on, and he has a little hat that's glued to his head. I don't know the stuffing material. He's a mime. I'm just curious, mostly about his age and maker.
Value of a Vintage Dresser?Any idea how much this dresser is worth? There is a spot where the tag used to be, but no other markings. The drawers are dovetail construction, if that helps.
Identifying Bug and Keeping Them Outside?What is this bug kind and how does it get in? Two days before I had seen a bug more like a ladybug with yellow color and black spots and it had wings. Then I saw news of invasive ladybugs! Today I saw the bug in the picture. Last year there was another kind that was coming persistently. I don't want to vent my room anymore. Our windows even have swatters. How it is it a different kind each summer?
