"I just bought my first house 2 years ago and most of the landscaping contained evergreens and hostas. I have slowly been re-doing my landscaping and finally got to the back (north side) this year. I was doing some major weeding to prepare my beds…"

Jody Pankow replied to Wanda (Z6B NYS)'s discussion Pruning of Hydrangeas in the group Hydrangeas"Thank you so much for your advice. I did see the "Twist & Shout" variety last year.

Marti Alexander/z5-MI replied to Jody Pankow's discussion Columbines and hybrids in the group Zone 4"I think I usually get 2-3. I try to keep them in one area, but they do move around the gardens. I love the airy look when they are blooming. Since most are in my front yard now, I'm always getting comments from the neighbors during bloom time…"
Jody Pankow replied to Jody Pankow's discussion Columbines and hybrids in the group Zone 4"Thank you so much for sharing your photos. Your flowers are beautiful. How many seasons do you typically get before they die out?"
Marti Alexander/z5-MI replied to Jody Pankow's discussion Columbines and hybrids in the group Zone 4"I move mine when the spirit moves me (as I do most of my perennials). Just make sure you give them TLC till they are established. Those tiny seeds develop LONG tap roots, so it is easier to move the small young plants. They eventually die out, so I…"
Jody Pankow replied to Iowa Gardener's discussion Perennials for the shade garden in the group Zone 4"You could try Primrose, lilly of the valley, lungwort, sweet woodruff, bigleaf ligularia, jack in the pulpit and even some tulips and daffodils will do OK with 3-4 hours of sun daily. Check the varieties to make sure you are getting a shade variety.…"

Columbines and hybrids
Looking for some advice. Last year I planted 2 Columbines not knowing what colors they were going to be. I planted them very early, just after Mother's day so there were no buds yet.

Now this year, my plants produced a hybrid of a pure white variety…See More
Jody Pankow replied to Nancy Dienst's discussion How much rain is too much? in the group Zone 4"I live in South Central WI (Madison area) and we have had double the rain we usually have in June. My Annabelle is doing incredibly well. I have only had to water it on 2 occasions so far this season. Not sure how much more rain you've had than…"
Jody Pankow replied to Wanda (Z6B NYS)'s discussion Pruning of Hydrangeas in the group Hydrangeas"I am a VERY novice gardener. Just started about 2 years ago when I bought my first house. I discovered that I absolutely love hydrangeas. I planted one macrophylla, the endless summer variety, and an Annabelle. I have 2 questions about the…"

"Hi Cindi, glad you like them, but oh no. Most Bowling balls are much too heavy for me. I use those big foam balls from the craft store. Much lighter and easier to work with, and you can stick things in them. Put on a coat of adhesive grout…"
