Here's another use for newspapers - seed-starting pots. I keep my egg cartons for eggs. http://www.ehow.com/how_1745_create-seed-starting.html Cat, I use those blue balls (or should I say 'BALL', since my kids lost one of them). I believe they cut the dryer time and fluff the clothes. They're especially good to fluff pillows (at least they were, when I had two of them)

There's a shelf above my closet door, inside the closet, for my guns. If you didn't know it was there, you'd never notice it.

I might just go ahead and make shelves for my livingroom. I already have the appropriate curtain rods. I hate putting up hardware anyway! Those shelves would look great with the fabric I picked out. Some of it looks like tooled leather and the rest like plain leather. (They didn't have enough of either one to do all 8 windows in here).

I didn't see three of my favorite companies on the list - R. H. Shumway, Baker Creek, and Heirloom Acres. http://www.rhshumway.com/ http://rareseeds.com/ http://www.heirloomacresseeds.com/

Aren't you two afraid of accidentally turning the knife severing your hand? I always was, but then I'm an accident looking for a place to happen. I just whack the garlic with the heel of my hand. Works just fine.

I'm not really convinced that the picture identified as a dandelion is actually a dandelion. That is the problem with plant ID - without the entire plant, it's difficult, at best, and possibly dangerous, to tell what it is. Better to get a good plant ID book, with actual photographs, detailed descriptions, and information on how to tell it from similar plants. Once you have them identified, look them up online to see if they are edible or have other uses. I'm guessing you're in Florida. Here is what looks like a good site for plant ID, specific to your area~ http://www.fnps.org/pages/plants/landscape_plants.php

Picture #4 - looks like it might be daisy fleabane. Not edible, possibly toxic, but used in native American medicine.

That last one... pick a piece of it and see if it smells like carrot. If so, most likely wild carrot (aka Queen Anne's Lace). Edible, but leaves are toxic in large amounts.

The little plant to the right of the dandelion, is it succulent? If yes, my guess would be possibly purslane. Edible? Yes. The one to the left, chickweed. Edible? Yes.

Can you make the big pictures smaller? I'm on dial-up and it's taking an looooooooooong time for them to load.
