Winter will be here in the Northeast in a few days. The Garden Lady wants you to have a safe Holiday season and New Year.
Our plants are indoors for safe keeping and are making the house decorative as well as pretty. But some of these plants we have are poisonous, such as this Jerusalem Cherry [...]

I received an email from a Gabriela in Mexico. She asked,

Con que nombre se le conoce a la ASPIDISTRA en America Latina (Mexico)?
