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

and my creeping thyme is spreading and blooming as well

It makes me happy. I switched the flag out for a new one yesterday.

There's a way to make them blue but I'm not sure how, it's something to do with the acid in the soil I think

@Tumbleweed yeah, you can change the ph with lime. This one is white in the summer and changes to pink in the fall, supposedly.

@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
