Hi, very quiet around here lately, guess everyone is in the
garden....but I have a few questions, so am hoping that someone will see
them...
1. I want to plant a few hydrangeas under a mountain laurel. When is
the best time to plant these? Also, I really love the ones that are
purple more than blue....do I buy a particular one, or is this all done
by amendments to the soil? And if amendments, what exactly should I do
to get this marvelous color?
2. I just was about to plant something, when I found that there was a
swarm of ants- some with and some without wings....at least, they look
like ants. Millions of them! What do I do? and will they harm my
plants in any way? They seem to have nibbled at me a bit before I
realized that they were there.
3. I am having some problems with my foxgloves. I really love them,
and have seen them in other people's gardens standing up straight and
tall....but mine, the minute the flowers start to come, bend over and
lie on the ground. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?
Thanks, and hope everyone is having a terrific gardening season!
