i've been told you have to "pinch" petunias so that they grow better. what exactly does it mean to "pinch" the plant? how do you do it and under what circumstances?

I applied scotts bonus s weed and feed 6 weeks ago, and a week later my grass was looking real good. I even recieved a few comments about my lawn. Last week it started to look like my grass was dying(yellowish spots) but I really didnt pay it no mind. Now my lawn is more yellow than green. This week I started watering it every day but my grass just looks like it has come to a hault. I live in Texas and have st augustine grass if that helps! Can someone help me with this issue???

I'm great at pruning ornamental trees and shrubs and was wondering what landscapers charge for that kind of work. All the work would be done by me to the highest standards. I'm looking to be one of the priciest services in the NYC area.

It was fine one day, and the next day it was wilted. We've had rain here for months, maybe it got too much water, but it was doing so well! Lots of tomatoes and growing like mad.

I think that could look pretty. I used to garden with my grandmom but I think she must have been letting me BORROW a green thumb she kept on standby, because I will kill an evergreen.
(I'm speaking of INDOOR plants, by the way)

I have the bright green potatoe vine growing in some of my window boxes. It just started getting holes in the leaves. It looks like a little white flying bug. Any idea of how to get rid of them. The vines are next to huge hanging petunias. Thanks!
