Garden
Knowledge:
 It's worrisome to see
yellow leaves throughout your azalea, holly or gardenia shrub. But
notice the pattern of leaves. Are the yellow leaves inside the plant,
with green leaves on the tips of branches?

Garden
Calendar:
 Green grass in a
bermudagrass lawn is probably annual bluegrass. You can try digging it
out but, better yet, make a mental note to put out weed preventer next
September.

Deciduous tree native
to the Florida panhandle. An endangered plant, this tree can be found
in a few nurseries and is easy to grow up into zone 6. In early spring,
the plant is covered with enormous (18-30
inch) leaves and large fragrant white flowers with a hint of lavender
towards the center. 
Having your own flowers
to use for arrangements can be a great way to extend your gardening
activities to the indoors. It's easy to grow a wide variety of plants
for cutting as a way to bring the garden with all its colors and aromas
inside to share with family and guests.
