I didn't get the hydrangea trimmed back last fall. I wonder if it will come back this spring. I wouldn't blame it if it wanted to run away to some other garden.

Warning: Long post alert! A week or so ago Ron and I took a hike at Silver Falls State Park . Warm summer afternoons will find hundreds of people hiking at the park. It's a constant battle of passing slow hikers...usually in groups, and bumping past oncoming hikers. Not exactly a peaceful forest experience.

On this day we will visit 6 of the 10 falls, and be treated to a number of unofficial falls running off the slopes of the canyon. South Falls is probably the most visited of all the falls.

You're not alone. I don't know much about gardening either. My Mother in law gives me all kinds of plants, and I usually kill them. :(
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas apparently are hardy plants. Let's hope the blue returns!
