The Senior Horticulturist Allen Owings of Bracy's Nursery has answered this question many times in the last month. Why do my sasanqua leaves look like this (see photo)? This is a physiological problem called edema. This occurs usually in late winter and early spring and is associated with high humidity, rainfall, cloudy conditions.
The Southern Louisiana summer is one full of heat. Be careful as you venture outdoors to tend to your yard and landscape, wearing proper sun protection and keeping good hydration. Just as you need to replenish yourself with water, your trees and plants need some extra moisture in the summer. Signs of stress include yellow.

Arrange the azaleas in the bed while they are still in their pots to get the spacing and arrangement right. When you get ready to plant and take the plant out of the pot, you may see a very dense network of roots around the outside of the root ball. This is not uncommon in container-grown plants. Use a knife to vertically cut into the root ball in several places, or use your fingers to pull apart the root ball and loosen it up.
Slugs are not insects, but the holes they chew in the foliage of tender leaves or susceptible fruit are often mistaken for insect damage. The real culprits are not usually present when the damage is being examined because slugs usually retreat to some dark, moist protected area during the day. But the shiny dried slime trails they leave behind are a sure sign of slug activity.

The weather feels perfect! Nights and early mornings are still cool, and the days are beginning to warm up and get longer. Drive through any local neighborhood in the evening after work and on the weekends and you will see folks working out in their home lawn and gardens. People are excited about spring.
