    Go to the nearest rental tool store and rent a steam machine. They will show you how to use it ...»
    and explain everything you need to know. Simply it is a squire metal plate that steam comes out of and you rub it over the wall until you soften up the wallpaper glue and can scrap the wallpaper off the wall.

Oxblood lilies for fall color

If you live anywhere from the mid-Atlantic states south and west to Texas, oxblood lilies, Rhodophiala bifida, are an excellent way to add vivid pops of color to the garden at a time when ...»
it is often looking tired and bedraggled. Related to the amaryllis, these natives of Argentina and Uruguay were introduced to gardens here when German immigrants in South America sent bulbs to compatriots who had immigrated to Texas. They are happiest in dappled shade, but handle heat and cold, drought and rain with aplomb. Louis the Plant Geek has an encyclopedic guide to their care and culture on his blog at: http://www.louistheplantgeek.com/a-gardening...
