Q: I have two hydrangeas. One is in the front garden and it has shade most all day except for morning sun. The other is shaded all day except for late afternoon sun for a short while. Except for the past two years, they have had an abundance of blue flowerheads on them. The one in the front garden has no blooms this year and the other only has 5 blooms. They seem to be putting all their energy into growing huge and having healthy leaves but little if any flowers to speak of. It is too late for this year but what can I do about next year? We did start watering them with automatic sprinklers about 2 years ago. Could that be the difference as I know they like alot of water?
Find the Answer Here Q: I have a Flowering plum that I think is a victim of over watering, I have clay soil and the leaves are turning brown and falling off, what can I do besides backing of the water intake which I have already done to save my tree? Q: I have recently noticed large black ants on one of my redbud trees. They appear to be living in the tree, as I see them going in and out of a hole in it. Will they harm the tree, and if so, how do I get rid of them. We are Growing!

Most of us have heard of drip irrigation, but not everyone
understands how it works. You may have heard that drip
irrigation can save time in the garden watering, that
drip irrigation will help save water, and that it is
an easy way to get the water where you want it. All these
statements are true. During the hot days of summer plants
often need water when we would rather not be outside.
Rather than haul the garden hose from one place to another
drip irrigation can water many plants all at the same
time, and if you hook it to a simple hose bib timer you
won’t even have to go outside. The plants will
be watered regularly, while you do other things.
