How To Fertilize Hydrangeas|Wake Them Up This Season|Flower Gardening

🍃 The speaker is planning to clear out an area in their garden and hopes that the hostas from last season will grow back.

🍃 The speaker wants to wake up their Endless Summer hydrangeas by clearing out the area, fertilizing them, and giving them a good watering.

🍃 The speaker has successfully revived sad-looking plants in the past by giving them attention, and now wants to wake up their hydrangeas by pulling back the mulch and giving them a feeding of Holly-tone fertilizer.

🍃 The speaker explains that despite the Holly-tone fertilizer being advertised for evergreen and azaleas, it is also suitable for hydrangeas because they are acid-loving plants.

🍃 The speaker has decided not to wear long-sleeves due to the heat, but is still wearing long pants and garden boots to protect themselves from potential injuries.

🍃 There are two sets of hydrangeas in the garden, one under shade and one exposed to sun, and the speaker is unsure if they will have time to work on the sun-exposed hydrangeas.

🍃 The speaker plans to feed the hydrangeas by pulling back the mulch, working the fertilizer into the soil, and then covering it back up with the mulch.

🍃 The speaker is pleased with the progress of the hydrangeas and has already seen growth and blooming, but wants to give them an extra boost to ensure they continue to flourish throughout the growing season.

🍃 The speaker mentions using diatomaceous earth to deal with leaves being eaten and plans to come back and fertilize the hydrangeas again in a few months, along with using compost tea and foliar spray.

🍃 The speaker acknowledges the need to work on another area in the garden, but it is not on their to-do list for that day, and they will have to do some weeding and feed the hydrangeas in that area at a later time.
