  • Is Watership Down a good book for an 11-year-old?

    I'm very bad at estimating reading levels for young people, though I do remember liking many young-adult and adult books when I was younger. Though I may not understand all the concepts, I was able to read and re-read those books as I aged and could grasp deeper meanings in the text. Could Watership Down be one of those books to come back to in years to come for a child? Or is it plain too old for an 11-year-old reader?

  • Will my Dutch Discovery Irises survive the winter if they are starting to come up now, November 29th?

    I live in Tennessee. We've been experiencing a week and a half of unseasonably warm weather. For instance, it's supposed to get up to 74 degrees F today, November 29th. I looked out at my garden and saw that the new Dutch Discovery Iris bulbs I put in late October are poking out!

    Will they survive the winter? It is forecast to get down below freezing by Friday. Can I please have some advice to keep them from dying through the freeze because they have already started to sprout?

  • What exactly does it mean when a horse is "spent"?

    I think it was a Black Beauty movie I saw where one of the horse characters was raced without conditioning, and at the end of the race, she was totally spent and not good for racing anymore, or anything other than pulling a cart around. What does it mean when a horse is "spent" exactly? What physiological changes have happened?
