Edit Reason: answer carrot question that I missed

Judy, I am dad (older than you) whose son's girlfriend got us sucked into minecraft (my wife, daughter and son-in-law have no interest). Stick with it. But you do need an hour or two of help from someone who knows Hometown and the minecraft game better than your daughter does, to avoid being banned permanently from Hometown.
I rolled back grief that you did to the melon stems at /warp resource. Given that the resource world should have no builds on it because it is reset frequently, I don't ban and rarely send warning emails as I fix my melon farm build. And I did not in your case.
Also, all animals on the resource world are fair game to be killed. But only horses/donkeys/mules can be moved back to the main world.
I don't know what grief you did to get banned by Vilneas. Vil needs to decide if your appeal is good enough to be unbanned. We need our not-so-long list of rules and we ban griefers immediately because there a lot of people who enjoy destroying things for fun. So, see /rules or really pay attention to the tutorial if you must redo it to be unbanned.
The biggest rule is: if you did not build it or plant it then don't touch it without permission like my signs at the melon farm give permission. Don't build without permission any closer than 100 blocks from anybody else's build. Try not to mine, harvest trees or kill/capture animals any closer than 100 blocks to a build. But you need to know a bit about minecraft to know what is natural and what is player built.
Melons are harvested by punching or using an axe. They drop melon slices. These can be put into a crafting area (the 2x2 in your inventory or a crafting table) to convert them to melon seeds to be planted in soil (dirt right-clicked with a hoe). Google is your friend, google "minecraft melon" and you can read all about melons on the minecraft wiki or the many YouTube videos for people who prefer to see/hear rather than read how to do something.
Carrots are not converted to seeds but are planted in soil as is. Same for potatoes. Sugar cane plants in dirt or sand beside water. Beetroot and wheat drop with seeds -- plant the beetroot_seeds and seeds not the beetroot and wheat into soil. Another complication is that you need water within 4 blocks of the soil or the soil eventually reverts to dirt killing the plant. Melons and pumpkins grow beside the plants and are crafted into melon_seeds and pumpkin_seeds to plant in soil.
Horses (donkeys & mules) can be transported while riding them by using /warp <warpname> only -- /home does not work. But there is a glitch that happens too frequently. You get to the new location and the horse is not there. If you quickly (within a minute) logout and log back in, the horse will appear. If you wait too long to log out or log back in, the horse is gone.
If your shared house is anywhere close to /spawn, then you will be repeatably griefed by new players that do not follow the rules and are shortly banned when their griefing is found. Anytime there are changes to the house by other players, you should contact staff and we will rollback the grief -- don't try to fix it yourself because that makes our job more complicated. You can do "/list" to see all players sorted by rank. Or look for staff ranks by doing: /list mod, /list admin, /list guardian, or /list founder
My recommendation to you, if Vil unbans you is two fold. #1: Learn what the rules mean by reading /rules and asking people on chat. If I am online, don't hesitate to ask me (Rowebot) -- we can use /msg <name> <chat-text> to start a private chat then do /r <reply-chat-text> to keep the private chat going back and forth. #2: Move your house far away from Spawn. Join a town or do /random many times until you find a nice spot to do "/sethome" so "/home" brings you back there, or ask me to help you and your daughter find a nice spot.
