Gardening: Hydrangeas

I bought a root bound hydrangea(sp?) but there were new leaves at the bottom. The three heads are dying. Should I snip the heads off to give more nutrients to the plant?

    I have nearly the same situation. I got a free hydrangea from craigslist three years ago, I ...»
    had to dig it up so the roots were disturbed. It hadn't done a thing so last week I decided shoot the moon and cut it all back to see if anything might happen. It has all new green growth on it now, don't know if it will flower but it looks better then it did with a bunch of dead sticks all over it. Good luck to us hydrangea lovers!

Gardening: Tomato seedlings losing leaves

What did I do wrong this time? I usually have no problem starting seeds, but my toato seedlings have all lost their bottom leaves and it looks like they may die altogether. There is all ...»
different varieties, they all look sick. I have them in jiffy pots, and have noticed mold growing on the outside of the pots but also right on the top of the soil. I have had them under lights, never missed watering, and they have been warm. Can they be saved or have I lost the fight? They have not been overwatered either, at least I don't think so.

  • The growth on this rose bush is less than 4 weeks old.....
  • and now look.  I am going to have roses blooming in my house if this darned weather we are having in Michigan doesn't get any better.

Blooming roses - almost

My husband got me a couple of rose bushes last month for my birthday toplant in the garden this year. I figured that I would keep them in the house until it was time to plant them outside.

Re-growing Celery from Celery

Have you heard of Re-growing Celery from Celery?

I LOVE this idea for my garden! Did you know that you can grow another complete celery ...»

stalk from the bottom piece that you cut off and throw away? Cut off the end that you would normally "throw away" and then place it in a small dish filled with warm water.

Next "pot" the celery stalk (Stalk Side Up) or place in your garden. Just dig a small hole, fill it with water and set the end in the hole, then cover it up with an inch or so of soil. Water thoroughly. That is it! Now the "end" will grow into a full stalk of celery! Rinse and Repeat and you never have to buy celery again! Talk about a way to save money! This photo is taken on day 7 and as you can see it is working!

    Put it water first, then after it takes root plant it in a pot. Should be good to go!
