I have a space that needs a high growing plant, but it is in an area of the living room that is at least 4-5 feet from a sliding glass door. But the door is on the east side of the house and doesn't get any direct light ever. And the room has no other windows anywhere nearby. I went to a nursery, where the people have always had good answers, but no one really had a solution to this problem.

First of all, I live in zone 5, Ontario Canada. I would like to grow Catherdral Bells up a few trellis and fences, but I have a few questions:
1: Are they a popular plant?
2: Are they a perennial in my area?
3: How fast to they grow? As fast as morning glories?
4: When do I plant, what are some tips on it?
5: Do you buy it as seeds, or as roots?
5: Do most nurserys have this vine? I haven't even heard of it until today!
Thanks in advance!

I have a tomato plant that is overtaking my front garden. It is loaded with beefsteak tomatos, but they are still green. Can I pick them and have them ripen in the house, or do they need to ripen on the vine?

We just killed an enormous black widow in our gargage. Does that mean there are probably others there that we haven't seen yet?
We don't live in a rural area, and haven't seen many spiders since we moved into our house 2 years ago. 90% of the ones we have seen have been innocent daddy longlegs types.
Does it work the same with spiders as other creatures? Like how if you see one cockroach, that means there are dozens more you haven't seen?
Thanks in advance!

Please help, do the electronic mouse/rat pest repellants work?
I have a severe fear of rodents dead or alive so it wouldn't work for me to set traps because I would be unable to pick up the dead rodents.

I attempted to mow my back yard today which has been extremely neglected. the grass is like a foot high and it is damp because it stormed yesterday. i did my best at making the load a little lighter on the mower by raising it up and skimming over the top of the grass and then going back over it. anyways i was using my neighbors self propeled push mower when it cut out and died. i attempted to restart it and the rope would not pull. it also seemed like it might have been hot, not sure if this is normal as i obviously dont mow lawn...please help!! is this common and fixable of do i need to replace the entire mower??

I've got the tree when I was a kid and I've had it for at least 10 years. It has never grown fruit and I'm assuming that's because it doesn't get hot enough here (South Alabama) to grow them. I've been considering building a greenhouse around it, but would that work? What else would I need to do?
