We had our hot water heater break and it wouldn't drain. My husband had to drag it to the floor drain which caused a few scuff marks. I tried 409 and those Magic Erasers and it didn't work. Can I paint them?

I live in South Florida and recently we have had a lot of rain. Now all the neighborhoods yards especially in the swell area are popping up mushrooms every day. They seem to be spreading to all of the yards and it is getting worse. How can we stop them from spreading? It must have something to do with the wind? Help

I bought these splendid dahlias this summer, and heard that they can be overwintered. Can they be just mulched during the winter? Can I store them as potato tubers, or do they need to receive some moisture? Will the temperature in my insulated basement be cool enough?

We have a choke cherry tree and the leaves are dying, there were no berries this year. We have noticed that there is a green fungi growing on the bark and branches of the tree. Some of the leaves have little green things that look like tiny worms, and are stuck in the leaves.These can't be removed without tearing the leaf.

...and messing with my garden? I caught one of them and smashed it to bits, but my neighbor acted like I stole his gnome and smashed instead of it running over and messing with my garden. Bear traps, maybe? Electric fence? Some guard fairies with pixie dust? What's the best way?
