This spring has been a nice growing season for a lot of plants, but with summer beginning tonight, it's past time to get moving on your summer annuals.

The Cape Fear Gardener says it's not too late, though.

When you think of a garden, you probably think of flowers blooming in bright sunshine, but the Cape Fear Gardener says there are plants that will thrive in the shady sections of your landscape.

The lack of rain and watering restrictions certainly hurt a lot of lawns, but the Cape Fear Gardener says all is not lost.

The weather should be nice and warm this weekend, but earlier this week, it didn't feel much like spring. That had a lot of people wondering how the cold would affect their spring plants. We went to the Cape Fear gardener for answers.
