    I---m Back!

    Happy to see you back. I'm just back myself and although my house looks wonderful after the remodel I must say I still have to look out at my neighbor's weedy yard so I am envious of your view. I hope you will be truly happy there.

    I'm baaaaaack!!!!

    OMG! I can't tell you how much I've missed you all. Our remodel will be going down in the record books as taking the longest time to complete the smallest amount of work. It took them nearly two months but they actually only worked for ten days and some were short days at that. Very...

    Quick fix for tall perennials

    I use them too. I find tomato cages are better for most flowers then they are for tomatoes.

    New blooms in my garden

    As usualy they are all spectacular. Someone told me once that cleome were called cat's whiskers so I've been calling them that for years. I always thought spider lilies were Lycoris radiata and started from bulbs.

    I'm afraid something bad may happen.

    woodstock you crack me up! I think it's a sunflower too. I love those gifts from the angels. When I went to harvest my cukes a few weeks ago I noticed this perfectly round dark green fussy ball on the vine. I’d never seen anything like it before so out of curiosity I let it be. A few...

    Easy Ice Packs

    Palm I have one in my freezer now. Even if they don't really need one it makes little kids feel special and loved when they have a boo boo and they're feeling sorry for themselves. Kya I try to keep popsicles in the freezer but those have a way of disappearing. My kids and grandkids call...

    When can I move a small shrub?

    I agree. I would wait a while like swindy said, prune like Randy said dig a big root ball like you said and fertilize like Blue said. If you don't have some place to heal in your hydrangea it should be fine for another month to six weeks in the pot you bought it in.
