Core classes.

Id fail Materology. I cant keep a tomato alive.

The East side Walmart banned me from using the garden entrance because my mere passing presence visibly wilted the plants.

I read on the internet that a change in soil acidity would change hydrangia color. So I spent a whole summer pissing on a hydrangia.

It stopped blooming for three years. This year it is finally back, and it's beautiful. If yall remind me I'll post a pic this weekend. It's gorgeous.

But it is still the same color.

2011, moved into this place with a big arse catalpa tree. At least 30' tall. No telling how old it was. Big beautiful tree. And the catalpa worms in june would just rain down from the branches. More than I could fish with. More than I could give away. More than I could freeze in cornmeal. Enough that I contemplated the idea of a commercial venture.

Two years later, the whole tree is dead. Root popped up out of the grass and shanked the lawnmower blade. Dead as frick. Like a tree you'd see in a haunted graveyard, even now, 5 years later, infested with termites, home to woodpeckers.

Catalpa worms are the real deal. I've caught a lot of fish with those things. Cats, bass, brim, all eat them. And the good thing is that you can show up without bait and you're golden if you hit the worms at the right time. Don't seem to be as many as there used to be but it might be my imagination.

Next time may I suggest you either use lime or sulfur fertilizer rather than drownng your flower in craft beer urine?

Low Ph (sulfur or cottonseed meal) is supposed to be good for blue flowering ....azaleas should like that dirt too.

Lime raises Ph so I don't know what color you'll get then.

My mother had a fantastic range of hydrangias, she was quite the gardener.

Coffee, pickle juice, vinegar, are those that I remember.

She had a full spectrum of colors (white, yellow, red, pink, purple, blue). Twas beautiful to see.
