Nancy R asked:


I recently planted blooming flowers which has attracted white flies by the gazillions. They are also on my catnip so bad that when I water they are flying all over and in my face – hard to breathe. I can’t use a poison on the catnip as my cats eat the catnip. No one, to my knowledge, eats the flowers but the white flies cause a lot of damage as they **** the life out of the flowering plants. I have yellow sticky traps up but they get filled up daily. I understand there may be a mixture of liquid dish soap to water (how much to how much) that might work if sprayed on the plants. Please Help!

I’m not talking about anything fancy either. I just like to buy simple plants and flowers for my yard. They always look so nice IN the store. Then I get them home and they start looking bad. I always replant them using Miricle grow potting soil and such. I even use Miricle grow furtilizer. I just don’t understand.

Doubledown asked:


Ok, so I have a nice sized empty moving van.
A flourist wants to pay delivery people to deliver flowers during the holidays. What’s a good price to charge? Consider it’s the holidays and gas prices are high. Do I charge per run? Per flower piece? What’s the scoop?
