    What kind of lettuce is this?

    Favourite answer:

    That's not lettuce, it's kale, which is related to cabbages. It's very winter hardy.

    It's too tough to eat raw, but is tasty steamed or boiled.

    This plant's name please?

    Favourite answer:

    It's not a bluebell of any sort, whether English or Spanish (Spanish bluebells are massive, anyway, so something that size could never be one).

    It's a squill (Scilla species), most likely Siberian squill. It's native to the Caucasus and Turkey, but is grown in all temperate climates as a decorative plant and often becomes naturalised.

    Cherry Blossom... are they all actually cherry trees?

    Favourite answer:

    The cherry trees involved in these displays are mostly a non-fruiting type. These are the ones planted along roadways, and in botanic gardens to create that early spring display of blossoms. But yes, when someone says "cherry" blossoms, they mean a cherry tree. These usually bloom long before other fruit trees, which is why they're considered such an important sign of spring.

    What is this structure called?

    I hope the photo is visible. (After a while Yahoo! seems to delete any photo attached to a question. I don't know why).

    However I was in Nebraska and saw this structure and though I have seen  these kinds of structures before I had not seen one exactly like this. It seems to be made of very tall poles which (in this instance) are wider at the bottom where they are staked into the ground  than they are at the top where they tower over ground level and then the poles are lined up to form some kind of square  and  there is some kind of  gigantic mesh net that is attached to the poles and goes completely around. I am not sure what it is used for and one thing that comes to my mind is how potentially dangerous such a structure is because high winds should be easily able to blow off the netting. Also once the poles are constructed or installed, it seems that the net has to be regularly changed since nets can break of wear down with time and how to workers put up such a net on such tall poles? This structure seemed to be as tall as a 15 story building at least.

    If you order bulk topsoil and the company delivers something else like mulch, do they take the misdelivered stuff back or what?

    I called their customer service, but they are closed due to holiday. I want to move the crap before it rains.
