Plant
Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium
sempervirens)
 Evergreen vine native
to the southern U.S. Carolina jessamine (aka jasmine) is one of the
earliest of the flowering native vines with its fragrant tubular yellow
flowers that cover the entire plant. Sporadic flowers appear through
the season. This is a great plant for arbors and fences. Extremely fast
growing. Learn more...

Flowering
Trees for the Landscape
 We are rapidly approaching the
season of the more familiar flowering trees such as cherries, redbuds,
dogwoods and those nasty white trees. However, we have a much longer
flowering tree season than many people are aware. We have trees that
bloom in the late spring, summer, fall and even winter.

Theresa Schrum and I
have noticed tomatoes, basil and impatiens offered for sale at a couple
of big box stores recently. Fortunately, most gardeners are smart
enough to know that it's too early to plant these frost-tender babies.
Air temperatures and soil temperatures are too low for the plants to
grow. So when is the last frost each year? Would you be surprised to
know it has been as late as mid-April? 
Q: What caused
the damage to the fascia board on our house?
Q: One of our
pecan trees was brought down by wet snow this winter. Can we save this
tree? 
Q: I have 5
Little Richard abelias that look mighty sick. Are they dying?
