Extractions: news weather sport tv guide ... Messageboard Hydrangeas Late summer is the best time to take Hydrangea cuttings. They have plenty of shoots on them. Take a plastic bag and spray the inside with water. This will insure that the cutting do not dry out. Take your first cutting and with a sharp knife cut below a node - a node is where a leaf joins the stem. Cut the lower leaves off and group the top leaves together and cut tops off. This seems like quite a drastic measure but this will insure that the plant doesn't lose as much water. Reduce the cutting by two-thirds. Dip the cutting into rooting hormone powder. To reduce infecting other cuttings with pests and diseases, don't be tempted to dip the cutting straight into the rooting powder pot. Tip a little onto a small saucer and dip the cutting into that. Dispose the rooting powder every time you plant up a new cutting. Vicky is using John Innes - seed and potting compost. Vicky has added a small amount of grit to her compost, but that is optional. Fill your tray of pots with the compost, tap down and give a good watering. Dip a whole in the centre of the pot with a pencil or small dibber. Stick in cutting and firm down. If you don't have a cold frame then you can buy an inexpensive propagator. Place tray with cutting and return the lid. Close the air vents and leave. Do not be tempted to remove the lid or open the air vents, as this will reduce the humidity inside the propagator.

Extractions: The Orange County Register The best thing about hortensia (hydrangea macrophylla) blossoms, besides their blue and pink corymbs from early spring through summer, is that they conveniently stay fresh on the shrub until you are ready to do something about them. Once the big granny flowers fade from blue (if your soil is acidic) or pink (if your soil is alkaline) to chartreuse sometime in September, they can safely be harvested for indoor use. (Whites are not affected by pH.) Pick them sooner and they wilt. Pick them in the fall and they retain their color and form without water for close to a year. This particular trick of the trade makes the blossoms easy to use for filling holiday baskets and urns inside, or picking apart for smaller projects. Good, harvestable flowers start with the growing. Florist-type hydrangeas that have been forced in a greenhouse situation can take years to get established in the garden.

Hydrangeas. Fire Fly Books, New York. ISBN $16.95 2. Lawson.HaIl, T. and Rothera, B. A Gardener s Guide. Timber Press. Most times when we think of hydrangeas, we think of the large-leafed, round flower heads (mopheads). However, there are many other types as presented below. Hydrangeas are some of the most resistant garden shrubs, tolerating coastal winds, some tolerate shade if not too dry or dense and most grow in acid or alkaline soils. Not possible for most all plants. The first hydrangea discovered and introduced to gardens was the North American Hydrangea arborescens, collected by John Bartram in the 1730 s. Later, he and his son discovered H querc~fol Ia, native to Georgia. A large number of hydrangeas has been discovered in Japan, China and North America. Family name is Hydrangeaceae. Most hydrangeas are hybrids, bred by German, Swiss and French breeders.

Extractions: Previously-answered questions: Q. Q. My large hydrangea bushes developed very unsightly pale greenish flowers last summer. How can I make them red or purple? A. The acidity or alkalinity of a soil influences the shades of color in our hydrangeas. When the blooms of some varieties develop muddy, indeterminate coloring it signifies a pH in the neutral range and no clear color directive to the flowers. Before taking steps to produce a certain color in hydrangeas you have to first consider what the flower color originally was, since different soil treatments will have different effects on the natural color of the variety. Red-flowering hydrangeas, for example, can be kept red or made more red by applying wood ashes, lime, or bone meal to the soil. All these materials have an alkaline effect on soils. Blue-flowering hydrangeas will turn pink in a neutral or alkaline soil. A friend of mine once asked me why one of her blue hydrangeas in a group of three had produced pink bloom. It turned out that the pink one was at the front of the grouping and had received a dumping of wood ashes late in the winter.

Extractions: Oleanders have the reputation, but others are more poisonous By Tony Tomeo I have been a horticulturist as far back as I can remember. My father can attest to all the geranium cuttings and nasturtium seed I planted in his garden as fast as he could pull them up. One of the first lessons I learned about gardening is to stay away from the oleanders. I was told that they are very poisonous and that I should not even come into contact with their foliage. Consequently, my father never needed to pull up nasturtiums or geraniums from around the oleanders. Although oleanders are somewhat toxic, they unfortunately do not compare to many other plant species commonly used in gardening. Puppies will get very sick if permitted to chew stems of oleanders. However, most dogs or cats who chew on plants will not consume enough oleander to cause harm. If deer are hungry enough, they can even eat oleander foliage. After learning about several other toxic plant species, I still cannot understand why oleander has the worst reputation. The various species of Dieffenbachia have earned their common name of "dumb cane." Although they are reliable, attractive house plants, they can be very dangerous to anyone who takes a bite out of them. The sap not only burns the throat and numbs the vocal cords, but also crystallizes when it comes into contact with saliva. One of my doubting colleagues at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, was hospitalized to have sharp crystals removed from his throat after trying to disprove this fact.

Extractions: Year-round blooms This wreath will remind you of summer's sweet beauty Our gardens fade into memory each winter. You can change all that by drying many of your garden flowers and using them to decorate indoors. Jerri Hopkins has been drying flowers for decades, using them as touches in custom floral arrangements for her shop, Plantiques in Newport News. High in the hot, dark attic of the historic Hilton home that houses her business, Jerri hangs bunch after bunch of plant material upside down so their shape stays nice while they dry. Some floral experts say a cool, dark place is best but Jerri finds the heat of a summer attic does the trick. The garage usually yields too much humidity, causing the flowers to mildew or mold, she says. For drying, she favors Silver King artemisia, globe amaranth, golden yarrow, hydrangeas, roses and okra pods. Hydrangeas can be tricky to dry. You have to pick them at just the right time, says Jerri. That right time is when the flowers are slightly mature, taking on an opaque look. The blooms will feel a bit papery and rustle when you touch them. ``Everyone wants them to be blue when they are dry but that's almost impossible,'' says Jerri. Instead, nicely dried hydrangeas take on purplish, greenish and beige tones.

Extractions: When landscape designer Jim Golden went to evaluate a barren acre for a new home in mid-town Newport News, he envisioned plantings that would keep the woodsy feel intact even though a busy highway is only blocks away. First, Jim helped the homeowners site the house on the property. He then marked strategic trees to save and thinned out unwanted pine trees. Once the home was complete, Jim designed and built a two-level deck with camellias, gardenias and miscanthus grass planted around it. An October Glory maple and existing tree provide shade and fall color. The home's driveway was formerly a dirt lane neighbors used to cut through to another road. To let people know it's now someone's driveway and no longer a cut-through road, Jim placed small stone columns with the house address at the entrance. More on lawn care April checklist He installed a year-round landscape that softens the hardness of the large driveway and frames the home with curving, flattering lines of mixed plantings. In return, the homeowners enjoy surprises all year - perennials popping up in spring, leaves turning fall colors, hydrangeas bursting forth in summer and berries bright with winter color.

I received a pink flowering hydrangea that has not bloomed in the past two years. I read somewhere that some hydrangeas have fertile and others infertile flowers - is this the problem? A. The flower type (fertile or infertile) influences the look of the flower and production of seed, not the blossoming. Pruning, winter damage and fertilization can all prevent blossoms. The pink and blue flowering hydrangeas flower on old wood. Often our winters or overzealous pruning kills or removes all the old growth that is needed for flowering. A little winter protection may help get the stems through our winter. Encircle the plant with hardware cloth. Sink it several inches into the soil. Once the ground freezes fill the wire cage with straw or evergreen branches. Remove the mulch in spring when the temperatures begin hovering around freezing. Then remove any dead or damaged stems back to healthy wood.
