Garden & Landscape - June 2007

I want to plant a few trees in the front and back of my house to provide some shade and also make things look nicer. I don't like pine, oak, and fir. Rather want some deciduous tree that is fast growing and looks nice. This is in San Jose, California.

I'm wondering if I should attempt to sell the used chain link fence. It's a few hundred feet of fence with one gate. If possible to sell, how would I determine a fair price?

I bought a melon one day and ate it. I saved about twenty seeds in case I could plant them. I washed them and left them rather wet in plastic wrap for about 4 days. Then about one fourth of the seeds started to grow a green tail. What do I do from here? Can I directly plant them or do I keep adding water on the seeds so the tail will grow longer?

I have a private fence on my back yard 6ft high, and would like to cover it with plant that grows on the fence wall. I would also like to secure the fence by growing such plant so that the fence wall would stand stronger. What is the best kind? Eventually I will be making some sort of area with a pond garden. I have one acre. Thanks.
