Hydrangea. Mine are supposed to be blue and I thought the soil was extremely acidic here. What a surprise when I got lavender and pink flowers on them. As I was weeding the other day, I saw where I had put limestone stones next to the skirting which is next to the flowerbeds. The limestone must have leached out into the soil and changed the ph. I put some Miracid on them but I guess it's too late once they bloom. I put more on. I got some Holly Tone to put on all the acid loving plants.
It will be another scorching hot day. It was 80 at 5am. The morning air was hot when I took Sparky out. This place has been looking like a cave. I close all the blinds and pull the curtains shut to block out the heat. At least I have shade until noon. Some of my neighbors homes are in the hot sun all day.
