Knowledge: Revenge of the Vegetable
 I was gratified to find that other gardeners have the same
recollection of odd vegetables that I do. Although insect damage or
improper pollination causes most of the weirdness, some veggies simply
have big personalities.

North Georgia sits in the Piedmont of the Appalachian
Mountains and because of this tends to be somewhat hilly. When grading
occurs for development often builders leave commercial and residential
sites with some substantial hillsides. Landscaping these to be
attractive with something more than junipers and dealing with runoff
can be quite a challenge. 
Evergreen shrub native to China. The variegated radicans
gardenia is a low-growing ground cover gardenia that reaches only about
1-2 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide with slender variegated leaves of green
with creamy edges. In summer, it produces fragrant white flowers just
like its larger counterparts.
