Today's Weather in Your Garden - 42
The scroll bar is on mine but whited out & non-functional.
They turn blue & work only if I type more lines than what fits in the window.
If I keep hitting 'enter' to go to a new line, they scroll bar activates when I get to line 12.
Marcha how do you trim the hydrangea? Have a new bush planted last year.
It's about 30 in. high and has new buds? on branches...
geraldine87, Don't trim it until you know which kind it is or you could loose all the flowers. One type blooms on old wood and can only be pruned right after it flowers (lace caps and oak leaf) which is what grow . Patti
This site looks good. If you don't know what type you have go to the bottom of the page and follow his directions to id yours before you prune. I didn't know this for a few years and couldn't understand why mine bloomed so well one year and than none the next and so on. This was before I joined Daves. Patti

Thanks Patti, checked out the site and will check with my plant!
44 now going up to 55... rain & thunderstorms all day
Here's another site for hydrangeas - http://www.hydrangeasplus.com/pages.php?pageid=5 - this page is regarding pruning. I've ordered from them and have been thrilled with what they ship.
I'm actually enjoying a rainy day. It was beautiful yesterday. I got alot of yard work done.
Pouring all morning. No work outside today. Patti
Good morning, all. Drizzly and 49. Got rain overnight.
nice Sherrie
Sherrie, Great example of color change. We have seen no bright ones yet. Dulls-ville here. Pouring still here and slightly foggy. Patti
Yes - cool shot. Hard to hide when you're that one.
More foggy now, but the rain has abated. Patti
Currently 52 and the fogg is starting to lift. Supposed to get to high 60's today.
More fog I am down to being able to barely see beyond our property. Patti
Rainy all morning, sun came out about 2pm and it got downright steamy.
56 now it's cloudy again
Yep, Jen, steamy is the word. It's 64 now. I went to the grocery store and when I came out it was HOT!
I was out pulling some weeds, said "nuts with this, shouldn't be working on Sunday anyway" and went back inside.
It got up to 73. I found a TICK on me. ICK!!
There are bad storms west of here, in Lancaster area and north, with tornado warnings. The clouds are starting to billow up here.
Hate ticks! Rained on & off all day today, but it was pleasant walking in the mist---no one else was about--temp was at 47. Worked outside all day yesterday---too sore to work today.
Raining pretty hard again. Fog has cleared. It is 50 now and the high today was 52. Peepers are blasting. The crows found the suet block. Patti
oops. try that again. Patti
Did anyone turn out their lights for an hour last night? It was kind of cool sitting in the candle light. We had the computer on as well as the tv, so we had that electronic glow going on as well. We have no neighbors this time of year so no changes in the outside light for us. Patti
Getting a nice soaking t-storm right now.
Now hailing.
I don't want hail.. that would flatten my bulbs. Patti
Yes - hoping nothing was damaged. Did not last long.
An icky day.
I'll second that, though we did need the rain.
had enough rain since last night and today to last me a couple of week hoping to see the sun tomorrow
mona
we had some pea sized hail as well earlier .... thunder & lightning ... just pouring on and off now
for me its going to be two days rain then two days sun and so on for the ten days lol it should be really green around here in about two weeks
Crazy hail storm, thunder and lightning....it was a weird storm. Lightning was coming from all different directions.
44 now going up to 53... more rain today
My rain gauge showed just over 1" of rain. Sunny now, although they are calling for more rain later. My weather center is not in agreement. 47°
42, cloudy and very windy. I'll start a new thread in a bit.
it was a bit over 30 here this morning with clouds
