Biographical Information
We moved to Durham 6 months ago from Houston. We had a huge variety of plants and shrubs at our home because of the warm, semi-tropical weather.
We are now on a 1/2 acre of land with lots of trees and deer. We pulled out azaeleas and overgrown youpon from our front bed and aren't sure what to replace them with. I understand the deer can be a problem.
We are anxious for spring so that we can start planting.
