I sent a question about two weeks ago asking about preparation of your own seedtapes. We got the idea after reading about seedtape usage that GKH had information on preparing/making your own seedtapes.
This article tells you how to make a seedtape. Enjoy!

There are stains on my concrete walls. Any idea what they are? How do I get rid of them? Picture attached.
It is very hard to say without much context to the photo. I would try things like bleach, vinegar, baking soda, household cleaners, or pressure washing. These will all be good ways to remove stains from surfaces.
Birds are tearing apart the cocoa matting in my plant containers and shredding some of the plants. I'd like to try using mothballs to scare the birds away but fear the chemicals in the mothballs will seep into the soil and damage the plants.
Your fears would be correct. There are plenty of alternatives to this dangerous practice. This article will help:

Assuming you know the name of the plant I'm asking about, please tell me if it's possible to bring it back from almost dead. The two are in pots with roots a couple of inches below the pot. I was supposed to transplant them last year but watered and left them in a big pot with soil so they rooted there. Anyhow they look dead as doornails (and they were from cuttings from my friend's garden!).
I believe you are referring to Bishop's Cap or Mitella diphylla. There's no way to tell from here whether your plant has crossed over, but I think the best way to know is to cut it back, feed and water it, and see if it takes off. If there is any part that's still green it may have a chance. Good luck with this. Here's an article about Bishop's Cap:

I've been growing my own plants for over 30 yrs and in the last 3 or 4 yrs have had problems with my leaves drying up when hardening off my plants. I lose 3 or 4 leaves before I get them hardened off which doesn't leave much left to plant.
Have you tried shortening the amount of time you leave them outside in the beginning? Do you bring them in at night the first few days? Try changing your routine a bit and see if that helps.
Dearest sir/Madam: Plant cells are everywhere equally. For example, if for some reason the leaves fall off and the new leaves are 100% accurate, then the characteristics of the previous plant are exactly 2 when they grow. And when the leaves of a plant have been left for only a short time devindaasanga282@gmail.com
I am uncertain of the exact question. Please include details and photos if possible.
