We should consider
ourselves lucky. In other parts of the country once fall has arrived,
the gardening season is over. Even though we regularly have winter
temperatures that go below freezing, there are an increasing number of
annual plants grown specifically for color from fall to early spring. 
My Evening at Emory
class few weeks ago was made up of a delightful mix of new and
experienced gardeners. One of the younger attendees asked "If you were
just starting out, what tools would be best to have?" We had a great
time batting ideas back and forth - 
Evergreen
shrub native to Gulf Coast areas from Louisiana to Florida. Shady lady
is a variegated form of the native Florida anise and is an outstanding
shrub to brighten areas in partial to full shade. The crushed foliage
smells like licorice which helps to deter deer. 
Q:
While on an afternoon walk we smelled quite a potent aroma, like a
combination of strawberries or peaches. Can you give me an idea of what
this might be? - Tim T.
Q:
Over the weekend I was checking on my Japanese maples and noticed
something had been dining on the foliage. Upon closer examination,
found a large caterpillar that I need help identifying. Would you have
any suggestions? 
Q: I have
noticed an interesting vine growing on a fence. It has bright red
berries hanging in clusters. Do you know what it is?
