I live by a railroad and have a very rocky soil. There are always rocks falling from these trains and it is hard to mow. I would like a shrub or flowers that will take full sun and dry conditions. I there is a small slope from the tracks. Any help would be appreciated.

I turned my watermelons while they were growing and now I don't have any cream color on them, and they aren't the variety that have stripes. This is my first year growing. What other ways can I tell if they are ripe? A week ago I thumped one and it sounded hollow, but it was still green inside. :(

I had to shut off my main water valve (the one before the meter in my basement) because I had a leaking faucet to which my washing machine was connected. I have no valve between the meter and the washing machine.

When I shut off the main line to make repairs to the washing machine faucet, I turned on the faucet in the bathroom sink.

After making the repairs and turning on the water at the main, all of my faucets, showers, etc are working except the faucet I left open during the repairs. It just drips when I turn it on.

What could the problem be? How can I fix it?
Thanks

The pumpkins get no bigger than a pencil eraser, and the zuchs about 2 inches long. They seem to rot and then fall off. The zuchs get good sun through out the day, and the pumpkins get mid to late after noon sun.

Some of my biggest ones are still green while ones that started growing later were already picked and eaten. a couple were on there for weeks and rotted away without even starting to turn yellow!

My lawnmower hit a piece of lumber hiding in the deep grass & it stopped the blade suddenly. Now it has no power & dies frequently & adjusting the needle valve does no good. I'm told it might have sheared the key. There is a man who has a shop on wheels, but he charges $60 just to come out to the house. Would you say it is an 'easy', 'medium', or a 'big job'?

Someone tried to break into my house late in the morning. Thankfully, he/she didn't succeed and only wanted to see if my side door was open. What are ways to help me build up security so it doesn't happen again without having to resort in buying an expensive alarm system?

AHHH!

My wife had both lamps on and she heard the one start popping; she went out to see a bit of smoke coming from the lamp and quickly turned off the power. Turns out, when I removed the black and burnt bulb, that the bottom of the bulb burnt up and corroded the entire area where the bulb screws in. I removed this piece, and see that the electrical cord even burnt up about 2 inches down. This is a fairly new lamp and never had a problem in the past. Is there some type of kit to buy to replace these damaged pieces? How hard of a repair project is this? Thanks for any advice, as I am going to have to replace this asap or else...
