Ruth,
Thanks a mil. No I didn't know about not getting the leaves wet. I will follow that advice straightaway. I have never seen an African Daisy pot - we don't have such things in the Middle...

Well that's it then... too much sunlight. They are in direct sun which is exactly why I bought them. I live in the Middle East so the sun is unavoidable. I could move them to the back of the...

Hi,
I am growing African Daisies in pots. I live in a hot country and water them once a day. I notice that the lower leaves turn brown and fall off. The plants are becoming quite leggy. It...

Hi,
When I was younger - 40 years ago! My brother had Hot Wheels toys where he had lots of tracks which you could join together and even had a booster.
Now when I visit Toy R Us, they tell me...

Hi
My son's friend was colouring in my husbands car. A wax crayon was left on the leather upholstery.:eek:
In the intense sunshine (we live in Middle East!), the crayon melted and has left a...

Hi All,
The pots are in full sun and no chance of putting a shade. I may move the pots but with the sun overhead for a long time, I don't think that will work either. I have shaded areas, but...

OK, I will cut them right back and see what happens. I think they are getting scorched in the pots, so will change to a succulent in the pots.
The sun here is really very viscious with little...

Hi,
I am growing periwinkle (locally known in Middle East as Vinca) in a very very hot climate and in full sun.
Whilst not dying, some of the plants have become very leggy. How do I prevent...

Dear Dr Dermie,
Thank you for the advise. I shall definitely stick with the Combivent. I will also take advise with the Krill Oil to see if this can prevent the wheezing in the first place.
I...

Dear All,
My son is 41/2 years old. We live in the Middle East. From time to time (such as now) we experience sand storms.
This causes my little boy to suffer with wheeziness and coughing...

Thanks for the comments. Well I have little choice - this vinca is in full sun! Poor things! I don't have access to other varieties here. Let's hope it holds on until September...

Hi,
I live in the Middle East, so it is hot, hot, hot!
I have periwinkle (sometimes referred to as Vinca). SOme are doing well, but I have noticed some of the leaves are turning yellow.
Any...

Right, I will try a bigger pot. They are in the little seed pots at the moment. Putting them outside might be a bit harsh but I may do half of them.
THANKS TO ALL WHO REPLIED! :)
-
They seem to be almost falling over. They definitely have enough light - I live in the Middle East and they are indoors by a window which catches the morning sun. In fact, I was concerned there was...

Hi,
I am growing chives from seed.
Some are up to 3 inches tall, but as with the last time I tried to grow chives, they are falling over
Any ideas. Should I put in stakes to support them?
-
Thank you for the quick response. I live in the Middle East so not sure if we can find Tilex here. I will check.
And yes it is the sealant below tiles and above the bath
-
Hi,
I have black mould underneath the seal around the bath.
Any ideas of how to remove it?
Thanks
-
In this instance yes, but then I am hoping to put up lots of pictures in the downstairs loo - rather like a rogues gallery
Thanks
-
It was in general, but usually with a string at the back and herein lies the problem.
Mainly I am talking about photo frames so I guess they have a permanent fixture in the middle no doubt with a...

Hi All
I would like to know how to hang pictures horizontally.
I have tried in the past with tape measure and spirit level but there is always one (or two!) that is slightly out of line.
Any...

Has anybody thought about - talking?
Try talking to your brother about his girlfriend's inappropriate behaviour. Her swearing may not be important to him. Tell him about your concerns and see...

We are looking at buying a new car and have trawled the showrooms lately.
We saw a Chery - Chinese car which was very cheap and had all sorts of fancy gizmos: movie screens in rear seats and one...

Hi thanks, we have already tried this and it really does leave a load of streaks. Maybe we will give it another try, but we still face the issue of the chemicals splashing into the pool.
I...

Alas, there is no ledge below so we can't use an extension ladder, but will definitely consider the normal house hand soap
Thanks

Hi,
I have recently moved into a house which has a big picture window over the pool. All very nice, BUT, how do I clean it without getting chemicals in the pool?
I have purchased an extendable...

Hi,
I am growing lavender from seed having planted it about 2 weeks ago.
I live in the Middle East so germination now should not be a problem.
However, we are having unseasonable cold...

Hi,
I am trying to grow dill from seed.
They have germinated well but my concern is they are beginning to fall over.
They are very spindly and need support but what would be suitable on such...
