Sorry to hear about your plant dieing. We bought one of those kits similar to what you had and we had a hard time growing them too. There are a lot of ways to grow plants and each type of plant can be unique. Tomatoes I would reccomend you get your own pots and soil to start. Place the seeds 1/4" under the surface of the soil and place in awarm sunny place. Keep the soil damp to promote germination until the seeds sprout. Once they sprout you must be a little more particular with the sprouts. Too cold of a breeze, too stiff of a wind and they could die. Keep them in a well ventilated but wind restricted environment. (Anything similiar to a green house effect to stop the wind and keep them in a warm environment.) Once the seedlings are 2 weeks of age or so, you can give them a very mild amount of fertilizer to help give them a boost, From the time they sprout until they are 2 or 3 weeks old, overwatering will kill them very quickly as well so it is better to give them a "little" amount each day rather than water until they are "wet". You will find after they are about 6 to 8 inches tall and ready to plant outside, they become a lot easier to grow. I hope this helps and good luck!

This may sound a little crazy but why not suck them up with a sweeper then put them back outside again. WE have the same problem here too. Ours is downstairs in the basement. Hope that helps.

Ok,here is the dilemma.I have always wanted to grow things so I kept trying and nothing would grow so I went to Walmart and bought this flower pit kit that was to grow tomatoes and something else anyways all you had to do was water it and leave it in the sun.No chemicals,no anything and that was it.Ok,it spouted and then it died that was it.I watered it after the sun went down and everything.It even had its own soil so I dont know what happend! I want a green thumb but cant figure out what I am doing wrong.Someone help.

Lysol Nutra Air Sanatizing Spray

jlowe308 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:11:56 GMT

I like this stuff.It smells really good and kills bacteria in the air so if someone comes over sick and coughing you can just sray some and kill the germs.I like the morning dew scent.It isnt gonna prevent the flu but will keep the air santaizes tempoarily.The bottle is not super big,mine is purple my favorite color and I buy this stuff maybe once every two to three weeks.It is good if someone smokes in the home.It mask the odors and if you have pets it also keeps some of those pesky pet scents at bay.Most of all it is inexpensive and makes your house smell great.

Wall Decals

ls400ii — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:27:53 GMT

I did a cherry blossom tree and it looks great. It actually looks like it was painted on. I used the matte finish. Look at dalidecals.com website. They have a lot and they are great to talk to and do business with. I swear I changed my mind so many times that I thought they would just tell me to go elsewhere but they were awesome and the product is first quality and it went on easy.I love it!!!

Check out dalidecals.com. I did my daughter's room recently. They had great decals and colors to choose from and they helped me with a custom design I wanted for her room. They were a pleasure to talk to and do business with.

I used wall decals from dalidecals.com. They had the best choice and color for me. It was so easy to change the look of a room with the decals. My daughter wanted a more grown up look so we took the child decals down and put up some flowers and a tree on one of the walls and her room looks great. She is so happy with it. The customer service was wonderful and helped me every step of the way.

Stand Mixers

AngiBowman — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:46:34 GMT

I actually use my grandmother's KitchenAid from the mid-1990s. It sure looks beat-up, but it works just fine. I'm sure she's looking down from heaven scourning the fact that I would make cake from a boxed mix though! ;-) My mother JUST got rid of hers after decades of using it!

If you can hold of a little bit, try Black Friday. Sometimes they have some nice deals on Stand Mixers.

Did you look on Ebay? I have an indoor George Foreman grill with drippan thats just sitting in the garage wish I could just give ya the whole thing Ive had nothing but problems out of that thing. If you go to Fixya.com and type in that you need a new drip pan and what kind of a grill it is they will answer you really quickly. Alot of ppl are missing or need a new drip pan on there and they seem to get their problem fixed very fast.
