Welcome!

Our home is the beautiful and historic Village of Pinehurst, located in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Known as the home of American golf and the longleaf pine ecosystem, its temperate climate makes gardening a popular activity.

Autumn in the Garden

Deer damage isn’t limited to spring. Keep using the deer deterrent spray. What was a beautiful dragon-wing begonia one day became a tasty meal for roaming deer during the night. Didn’t matter that it was on the porch right next to the front door. For information on coping with deer click here to view Gardening in Deer Country.

Plant of the Month

Pink muhly grass is a beautiful, fall-blooming grass that is native to the Sandhills. It has an ethereal appearance, especially when the sun is directly behind it. It’s stunning in mass plantings. For information click here.

Problem of the Month

Can you see those little white things on the last of the fall tomatoes? Click on the picture to enlarge it. Those are mealybugs. They won’t eat the tomatoes but they suck the juice out of the leaves and stems, doing substantial damage to the plant. If you move house plants outside for the summer they could have an infestation of mealybugs that need to be eliminated before bringing inside for the winter. Mealybugs have a symbiotic relationship with ants so if you have ants you may have mealybugs. Click here for more information.
