Flower Garden Planting & Maintenance

Knome Lover asked:


I do have some grubs (I have seen them). I also have noticed “holes” in some of my plants. I guess some sort of insect is doing that. I would like “cheaper” methods if possible.

We have one tomato plant in our flower garden that has a few small tomatoes on it. I’m concerned about watering from above and washing away pollen from the remaining flowers lest they not make tomatoes. My husband thinks that once the plant is pollinated, then the other flowers will make tomatoes anyway. Is that true, or does an insect need to hit every single flower? Thanks.

stew asked:


I have tried everything to save and protect my gerber daisies, but grasshoppers and snails continue to eat and kill them. I put a snail and all insect insecticide on all of my plants, yet the gerbers were eaten anyway! Anyone have any suggestions on how i can save my flower garden? If you can help, i would appreciate it because this is my first attempt at gardening and I am getting frustrated and I can use all the tips I can get. I am sure I have a lot to learn.
