Stormchaser asked:

I have been wanting a Hydroponic Herb Garden for the Kitchen like seen on T.V. but it is expensive. I have tried herb gardening from seeds and plants outdoors in Florida but they usually die out before I can get them to grow. The only thing I have now are two beautiful Rosemary bushes.
Do you have any tips or ideas on what I can do to put together a decent looking herb garden in the kitchen area.
I need tips and advise please.

I’m traveling 12 hours by bus overnight and would like to be able to sleep some if possible. Grandma will be picking me up and I want to have the roses with me when I meet up with her. I can take a vase if I have to, but would prefer a different method, so that I don’t have to hold it up for 12 hours.

blondi asked:

I received roses for valentines day. I am wondering if there are any tips to follow for making them last longer than 2 days. Everytime I receive flowers, they never last more than 2-3 days no matter the type of flower. I change the water, I trim the stems, I place them in sunlight, I mix the food in the water, and they still die so soon. what can I do? Thanks.
