This bright thing caught my eye on the gardenia next to my front steps. Do you have a shrub with lots of them? walterreeves.com/landscaping…
Courtney J. is curious how tender plants/flowers, like pansy, are able to survive a hard freeze. The answer is in your automobile! walterreeves.com/landscaping…

I am thankful for Reverend Max Coots, who wrote this lovely Thanksgiving prayer. I love his thanks "For continuous friends, who, like scallions and cucumbers, keep reminding us that we’ve had them". This link has the whole prayer.

You've probably noticed recently the dark green shrubs sporting white, red, or pink flowers. They are camellias...but are they sasanqua or Japonica camellias? I have a quick way to know right here. walterreeves.com/landscaping…
Bruce T. is not happy with how deer rubbed on his young tree. If you have deer around, consider protecting them as described here. walterreeves.com/landscaping…

Something is eating Charles A.'s canna lily. This could be one of two creatures...and they are distinguished by their poop! walterreeves.com/landscaping…

Amy K. has brown spots all over her hydrangea leaves. The best treatment is to ride your time machine back to June. walterreeves.com/landscaping…
Rob P. found a bunch of these hanging from a vine on his fence. Tell me what it is...and what you've done with it in the past!
I've gotten several emails about spittlebugs in lawns and on plants. They don't do much harm. I just wash them away. walterreeves.com/lawn-care/s…
Ron V. says this vine is blooming all over north Georgia. It's not as bad as kudzu, but this vine never met an obstacle it couldn't climb. walterreeves.com/landscaping…
Chris A. noticed an interesting plant growing on the edge of his landscape. Despite the name, it is NOT edible! walterreeves.com/food-garden…
Brandy M. wonders if these are catawba worms (nope). If you have an oak tree, keep an eye out for them. walterreeves.com/insects-and…
If you have a grassy weed, the best way to identify it is by its seedhead. Learn these pictures and you'll be an rxpert! walterreeves.com/lawn-care/g…
Matt E. wants me to identify this weed. It looks like a m***** tree...thus telling us its name. walterreeves.com/landscaping…
