Is your obedient plant being disobedient??Yesterday I continued my battle with the obedient plants. I also cut all the dead wood out of my three hydrangeas. I have struggled with these for years. The first couple of years that we lived here they were gorgeous! Covered in giant blue flowers. Then they seemed to mostly stop blooming. I tried cutting them all the way back; not doing anything to them; just cutting out the dead canes. Not sure what to do. Then today I remembered a box of Miracid I had in the garage so I gave them all a drink with that mixed in. I figure one year I will find out what works.
