Plant Talk
Welcome to Plant Talk, the corner of the garden where we get into the nuts and bolts of what actually grows in my yard—vegetables, shrubs, trees, and all the green characters in between.
This is where we dig into planting, growing, maintenance, and the little quirks that make each plant behave the way it does. If you’re trying to figure out why something is thriving, struggling, or just doing something weird—this is usually the place to start.
So let’s grab a cup of coffee and wander through the beds to check out whatever’s sprouting, blooming, or acting up today.
How to grow asparagus beans in the Gulf South—shade needs, trellising, harvest timing, pests, and why they thrive in heat when grown right.

A humorous look at dollarweed—why it’s soft in the lawn, a menace in the beds, and impossible to stop once it sets its sights on your garden.

We’ve all seen it, and I’m sure we’ve all wondered: what is it, where did it come from, and what is it doing to my tree or shrub?
A guide to overwintering rose cuttings in cold weather. Learn why watering for warmth works and how even new plants can survive freezing temperatures.
Grow sweet potatoes with simple methods or an easy unconventional approach. High yield, low effort, and tips for curing, trellising, and maintenance.
Not every plant behaves the way we expect—but that’s part of the fun. The more time you spend observing what’s growing (and how it reacts), the easier it gets to work with the garden instead of against it.
