My hydrangea, which was just a stick when I planted it, has blooms on it now

@itsok got a couple of plants from the nursery

@GentlemanPirate me too. It was a bit late when I bought my thyme, and they only had 4 left. I wanted closer to a dozen because I’m impatient 😁

@itsok I just got 2 and if they live I'll get a dozen more next year

@Punxi my yard isn’t mine, so my dad let me make a memorial for my dogs in his yard. He helps with it and waters it too.

@itsok Ah ...I see. Dads are awesome. Dogs live forever...in our heart. 🩷

@Tumbleweed @itsok you acidify the soil with sulfur or alum. Alum acidifies faster and has the added benefit it adding extra aluminum to the soil which is actually what makes them turn blue and purple. Acidic soil though is what triggers them to go blue. You are linebuf you want them to back to being white or pink. Not all varieties have the blue or purple ability though

@MethDozer are you into gardening?

@itsok I have been, when I had places to do it and I have a planted a lot of hydrangeas.

@itsok levity aside, those first two are true.

@basilfawlty89

@itsok that's a combination of skill and zen like patience, because I'm usually ready to throw my phone after 30 seconds.

@Unefilletrescurieuse it’s so pretty!

@itsok Thank you so much. I’m one of those who couldn’t keep artificial plants alive… so I’m so proud lol 😅

@Ferric67 me too

@JackHoff I planted 4 around the memorial. All of them are spreading, but 2 have blooms coming up

@itsok sure they all look great.
