Keith recommends Slasher, Bioweed or SlayerBanksia's not flowering? Banksia's prefer a sandy soil and may take several years to flowerPrune lavender after they've finished flowering. Lightly trim back to 4-6 leaves of new growthLawn vs gravel between garden beds - Keith explains why he has opted for grass.Raised beds - timber or colorbond? Keith recommends ModBOX beds (timber). Corrugated iron or colorbond can be good in cooler months but attracts to much heat in summer and can burn roots. Henley's Rustics have wonderful corrugated iron wicking beds for those who prefer metal lookUsing charcoal from your fire? Breakdown with Gogo Juice to create an activated biochar.Potting mix - does it have a shelf life? Store unopened in cool place and it should last approximately 12 monthsManure best left out on the ground for a month or so before use Hydrangeas - only cut back to the nearest node.

In this episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne Shaw discusses some of the issues you may be experiencing with your hydrangeas this month and what you can do about them. Topics covered in this week's episode: Hydrangeas not blooming Know what variety is especially important with this issue. In Joanne's experience, if you have a nice large green bush but no or few flowers then you have a Macrophylla variety They bloom on old wood that is unfortunately susceptible to late spring frost damage. The buds form on the old wood in early spring and then a late frost comes and kills the bud. The plant still grows nice and lush, and you don't know anything is wrong until it doesn't flower. Extra water and fertilizer provide a nice full-leaved plant but no blooms I have tried all the techniques to try and prevent this and protect the plant, but I gave up and replaced it with a hardier variety. If you are in an area where you often get a late frost after a nice warm-up, then consider swapping to another variety Hydrangeas discussed: Macrophylla Paniculata Quercifolia Serrata Arborescence Which hydrangeas grow on old or new wood Hydrangeas getting too large/floppy The preferred pruning practices to mitigate that Smaller variety recommendations of each type to have a hydrangea that stays smaller: Munchkin Oakleaf Hydrangea Invincibelle Wee White Hydrangea Invincibelle Limetta Little Lime or Bobo Hydrangeas All are a great way to have more hydrangeas in a smaller space Resources mentioned during the show: Tips To Extend The Blooming Season Of Your Endless Summer Hydrangea Hydrangeas Hydrangeas Part One Hydrangeas Part Two BLOG POST -- Hydrangeas: When They Don't Work And What You Can Do About It Down the Garden Path: A Step-By-Step Guide to Your Ontario Garden Have a topic you'd like me to discuss?

I've always admired hydrangea flowers but this year I was obsessed! I was slamming on my brakes and jumping out of my car just to take pictures of ‘other people's hydrangeas'! It's not like I'd never seen hydrangeas before. It's just that this year for some reason they just seemed more beautiful than I ever remember.  I wanted to share in the hydrangea joy, so I went and bought a pretty blue hydrangea plant at Home Depot.  I think it died in the car on the way home. I planted other pretty flowers that actually lived, but sadly not that one. I was bummed. Apparently my dead hydrangea sparked my very severe case of “hydrangea envy'.  Every time I'd spot a house with gorgeous hydrangeas I'd somehow on foot or by car, get up close or back up close, and whip out my phone to take a picture. I now have a ridiuculous number of ‘other people's hydrangeas' photos in my phone. I thought it was just me until I had lunch with a business pal and mentioned my 'Hydrangea Envy Problem' and he whipped out his phone with the same number of Hydrangea photos!  That was a really good belly laugh. We both really wanted to know ‘why' suddenly, this year, were these plants so much more amazing? We decided we needed to find a ‘hydrangea expert'! So, I went and found ‘the best' and invited her to join my radio show. Her name is Lorraine Ballato, and she's truly ‘The Queen of Hydrangeas'.  Lorraine is an award-winning writer, speaker, horticulturist, photographer and confirmed plantaholic. She's written a book called “Success with Hydrangeas' A Gardeners Guide. She has tips for knowledgeable and novice gardeners alike on how to grow this favorite garden shrub. Success with Hydrangeas in an international best seller. It's packed with valuable information like; when and how to prune; when and how to fertilize; when to transplant; how to propagate; and when to water -- or not. I knew Lorraine would have the answer to 'WHY' the Hydrangeas were so extra gorgeous this year. Was it all the wild weather?  Lorraine said, “Well, not this year. Wild weather from one year to the next could be the culprit, but we didn't have any wild weather. The temperatures were fairly even over the course of the spring. We had a nice, kind of mild winter. We had good rain both in the fall and the winter and the spring, and that's a trifecta to create exactly what we're all enjoying." “I can tell you from a very weakened memory bank that this is the best year I've ever seen in over 20.” “Even if you get mild winters and even if you get a decent amount of rain, we invariably have those crazy spring temperature swings, you know? And we get those freezes in May or we get a freak late season snowstorm. And so even if you make it through with all the other factors, one of those, all you need is a couple days like that and your buds are gone, absolutely gone.” “So to have all three happen in the same growing year is rare to say the least.” Enjoy learning more about the 'Diva' hydrangeas and enjoy meeting Lorraine Ballato in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show. Meanwhile, there's no need for you to zone out and become envious of ‘other peoples plants' like I did. You can have your own fabulous plants if you just look into what plant hardiness zone you're in. Just type your zip code  into the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.

Hydrangeas are blooming, fireflies are flitting, and rice fields are bustling with activity in this season, "The Time for Planting Grains." Joining Alexis and Kit in a new segment is Hiroaki Sato, sharing haiku about a special kigo for this rainy mini-season.

Hydrangeas are happy in the Northwest ... their blooms are showy and vibrant. The variety is at its best right now at Valley. Justin and Erin chat about how to make them thrive in your landscape with tips on watering, fertilizing and placement. They even dabble in shade shifting and propagating ... crazy, right?

Hydrangeas are a staple in the southern garden. Of course they look great all alone, but the garden is a place of combining plants together with unique characteristics to create outstanding combinations. Join Nathan as he talks about plants that help hydrangeas look even better!
