To my surprise the seller left the refrigerator, washing machine, Hoover vacuum cleaner, a jar of pennies probably $25 a plant on the fireplace with a card addressed to the new owner wishing me much happiness in the new home.

Lovely plants and mulch will, though. 

I went by my property today,  and to my surprise,  the back yard is full of bamboo plants (shoots?).  

Flat painted / textured ceilings get Original Kilz Oil since they can't be scrubbed easily.

(Note: plants and pets should be vacated from premises.)I don't understand the science so you'll have to google it yourself.

They have made a mess on the back porch by attempting to grow plants out there and they are all dead and scattered everywhere. 

Many buyers won't notice the difference between it and hardwood or it will look better to them because of the design or texture.

You have to till the soil, fertilize it, plant the seeds and water them before you can pick the harvest.

MY prefered floor covering is a non skid textured ceramic tile, caulked in tub

I know landscaping can add some nice curb appeal, but what good is it if the plants die or they are under snow when it hits the market in late January/early February?
