I have 3 identical house plants which I bought a couple of weeks ago. I just lifted the pots up from the trays to water them and found miniscule white insects that looked like skinny maggots but much smaller... maybe 1mm in legth.

Does anyone know what they are and whether this is normal?

Or are there any blue roses..if so what are they called?

I would like to take jobs as a gardening or landscaping consultant, working with homeowners as clients. I do not want to take measurements/draw landscape plans. That takes too much time outside of the meeting/appointment. I feel many people just want to pick my brain and ask questions anyway. But I feel I need to leave them with something, written notes, a list of plants, etc. I want them to feel they got their money's worth. What would comprise a good product? I'd like to make up a form or sheet to use.

Yesturday I found a praying mantis on my front porch, I didn't think much about it. It was still there this morning. I just went outside and found three more......four. I looked on the back porch and the were two. Is this because of mating season or what? They are everywhere, and I have to admit, they kinda freak me out.

We have a coconut palm, a passionfruit vine, a mango tree, a pawpaw (papaya) tree, a black mulberry tree, a kumquat tree, an orange tree and of course vegetables in the garden (broccoli, rhubarb, strawberries, tomatoes, green beans and aloe vera). Hehe, I'd be really interested to find out what you all have!

I was in British Columbia, with Cadets and we were out doing this camping thing and I saw these things that look like grasshoppers with big stingers. I remember driving by Ocanogan lake on the way there, and these things were like 10x the size of most grass hoppers. I havent been able to find them anywhere on the internet so if anyone knows tell me. If you need more info I might be able to add more to this.

What is the best material for building an outdoor patio? In terms of ease of installation as well as price?

I plan to build an above ground pond next to it that will be just high enough to still easily view while seated on the patio. I have used concrete pavers to build up around a pond before. I think maybe brick will look nice next to flagstone. Our house is white with black shutters. Color suggestions for stone/brick?
