Use summer plants that bloom into fall

One of the true joys of gardening in the South is filling our landscapes with a wide variety of plants that deliver bold color and personality.

From tropical treasures to tough-as-nails bloomers, our warm climate gives us plenty of options to create gardens that burst with life and excitement through summer and well into fall.

Careful garden design creates peaceful retreat

Sometimes the beauty of a garden draws people in for a visit, while other times the location is already a destination, and the surrounding garden creates the appropriate atmosphere.

Brendan Zurweller, peanut specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said harvest was about 75% complete by the last week of October.
