Our button peach tree ( a Persian variety- white) this year has produced an unbelievable number of fruits- without exaggeration, this small to medium size tree (less than five years old) has hundreds of fruit - some very close to each other. Two branches have already broken from the weight of the fruit and I have used poles to shore up others. Even If I manage to prevent other branches from breaking (the fruits are still very small - will probably double or triple in size and weight as they ripen), can a tree support this many fruit, and can they all mature? Do I need to do anything special?

It is tall, 6-8 feet, with broad almost heart shaped leaves. The leaves are anywhere from 3-6 inches wide. It is reed-like and hollow in the center. It is green other than red streaks in the stalk, and on the veins on the under-side of the leaves. It propogates by runners, and is very invasive. It flowers in late summer, and the flowers are more panicle than anything else. We are assuming it belongs to the grass family, but have no idea what it might be. The neighbors put it in 30 yrs ago, and thought it was a type of bamboo. However, the local garden ctr, although they didn't know what it was, were sure it wasn't a bamboo.
PLEASE, help us figure this out.

For my living room, I plan to buy a cherry entertainment center, a cherry desk, and a dark brown leather couch with a matching loveseat. I'm positive that I want all of those peices of furniture. How will I keep the room from looking too dark?

I also plan to get a sage green recliner, green curtains, and maybe a green rug.

Our camper roof has leaked & caused interior damage. We want to repair it but when I looked for repair products I found several for different types of roofs. So how do I figure out what type or roof do I have? Rubber or aluminum? There is a silver looking coating on top and many cracks in the coating. Also, is ther an easier way to repair the rotted out wood inside than replacing the wood, can I just patch the area with a wood filler?

I live in Minnesota and put down Viroro Ultra Turf turf builder fertilizer with weed stop (30-0-4) at the recommended strength about two weeks ago. My wife, not realizing I had already fertilized, sprayed the entire lawn with Spectracide Weed & Feed Lawn Spray Concentrate about a week ago. My lawn in now turning kind of grey green/and brown in some places. I am thinking that it is way over fertilized and dying. Anything I can do to counter the effect! Will excessive watering help?

Our insurance will be covering 100% of our roof from a wind/hail storm. We have 3 tab shingles now and we want dimensional shingles since they are stronger and look better as well. Will our insurance cover the upgrade or do they cover the exact same thing we have now?

Is there some sort of heat proof mat or something that is sold to prevent this from happening? Please help. My patio is not big enough and too close to the house to keep it on that, so I'm looking for something I can just put down and pick up since I don't have fires that often. Thanks for your help!

My garage door light bulb goes out every month, I guess it's due to all the vibration when the door opens/closes and the light turns on at the same time, Sears sells an anti-vibration light bulb for around $10, well I am not going to pay $10 for a single light bulb, does someone know how to modify the garage door opener so that I don't have to change light bulb every month? Thanks!
