Scout, I mean no offense but would you mind hushing? Planting this time of year up here is a crap shoot - we had a bad frost on the 28th of May last year and on the 7th of June the year before - no, I'm not kidding. I don't miss the heat and humidity (well, maybe a little - it could sure make calluses disappear fast) of Georgia, but I sure do miss the growing season, the tulip magnolias, the dogwoods, oh and the capability of growing jasmine and gardenia! ;-)

Have one in the front of my house and one in back both about 3ft through at the butt. Big ol paper shell pecans. Everytime I walk through the yard in the fall have to stop and join the squirells and eat a few.
Love to eat them but too many will give you the back door trots. :lol:

msscamp, in case it might help- i saw some gardenias there at the nursery - for us, they're more of an inside plant, too. You can leave it outside when it really warms up. Okay. No more about planting flowers! (tell cypress to hush about those blackberries! That's late summer for us!) ;-)
