They’re unlike any other creature you find in a garden. The bright yellow larvae of the Mexican bean beetle eat the leaves of beans and squash. Reeves will demonstrate how to control this ravenous pest.
As summer thunderstorms hit, they can leave death and destruction in your landscape. Hank Bruno of Callaway Gardens will teach Reeves how to protect two white oak trees after they were hit by lightening.
The pure white blooms are gorgeous in summer evenings and the scent is irresistible. Moon vine has been a Reeves’ favorite for a long time. Find out more about this Southern favorite.
And, carnivorous plants have a certain macabre attraction. Erin Alvarez shows Reeves how to repot these interesting plants.
