Wonderful! I listened to the podcast while mowing yesterday and had to come watch today! Very informative!
Ladies, you did it again! You posted an episode right when I had the questions! 😂Last week I commented that your netting episode was needed right then and there. Then the past few days I have been trying to harvest my gorgeous hydrangeas but wondering what would be the best way to harvest them. And then I saw your episode. Just perfect! Thank you so much! You are amazing.😊

How exciting! Best of luck with your hydrangeas, and thanks so much for watching ☺️ Have a fantastic day! 💚🤗💚
This video could not be more perfect! The photos clearly illustrate the conditions and goals of each step. Whenever I had an unanswered question, I only needed to wait a minute and you answered it completely! You both did a wonderful job of covering “all you really need to know” about hydrangeas as a cut flower quickly and concisely. 🌟💫✨⚡️⭐️

Oh, thank you so much! Your kind words and positive feedback really mean a lot 🥰 Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 💚🤗💚
Great info as usual 🌻
I'm planning to dry hydrangeas for wreathes this fall. Generally, I let them dry on the bush, but you've given me additional thoughts, as usual. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you!!! This is what I needed to know. I've never cut my bush and didn't understand why the flowers stem looked like tree branches 😅
i am down in the Raleigh area. Last night the deer attacked my bobo and little lime. So sad.

Oh, no! 😱 So sorry to hear that 😩 The deer love our hydrangeas, too. They are worth fighting for, but it is such a struggle for those of us with deer pressure! Best of luck with your plants going forward, and I hope you have a lovely weekend (despite the deer damage)! 💚🤗💚
I am considering these too. This year it has become very hot and very dry early, so I think they would need to have good drip system to keep them happy! Do you recommend fertilizing them and if so what type and how often.

Great idea with the drip system! They will definitely appreciate the supplemental water 💦 Amending your beds with compost or leaf mold is always a good idea, and you could also fertilize once or twice a year with a dry organic fertilizer, if you would like to. Hope that helps! Wishing you lots of beautiful hydrangea blooms in the future ☺️ Have a wonderful weekend! 💚🤗💚
