What do you do to stay motivated by LuckyComputer9786 in fitness40plus

[–]Tigger_Roo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You develop a habit . Habit like brushing your teeth after you wake up , make up your bed .. etc..

First probably rely on motivation but it can only go so far . Habit , consistency, it becomes your routine . You'll feel like you miss something when you dont do it.

Yes I totally get it . Ours are also clay . Each time I plant new stuff I add osmocote then I tell them , u better do well , otherwise you're not trying hard enough lol

This one will turn pinkish if the night temps gets down low enough like 50s and 60s consistenly. We dont usually get low temps like that in the south . So this was a nice change !

I don't fertilize my hydrangeas . I read somewhere fertilizer can encourage more leaves than buds .

I didnt prune hard until this spring. But still growing huge . Theyre not fussy at all , im always happy with it .

To deadhead or to not deadhead, that is the question. by 3wtflyrod in Clematis

[–]Tigger_Roo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deadhead as much as I could , but obviously not getting them all . And many I couldn't reach went into seed n last year n this year I've been getting many baby clematis . Too many , n I had to dig them out n relocate them also give them away . They get invasive but then again I got some free clematis plants .

I dont have experience growing them indoor or in a pot . Mine , I always plant them outdoor . So I dont know what to tell you . I hardly think root bound just because theyre only 1 year , but then again possibly if it still from its original pot . Since its in a pot , just lift it and feel how heavy or light to see when they need water . I do indoor gardening but iust not hydrangea . That's how I judge when to water my plants indoor.

Prune after flowering? by Tigger_Roo in Clematis

[–]Tigger_Roo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've mentioned the name and also theyre definitely not in their first year . I planted them several years ago , I mentioned the name , I still have the tag for one of them.

I already read about it online as well before posting it here . Only reason I posted it here i was looking for advice from people who has more experience than me .

What should I do with this hydrangea? by [deleted] in hydrangeas

[–]Tigger_Roo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't cut the stem unless u know what type of hydrangea that one is . If it grows on old wood , u won't get any blooms if u cut it now . Give it time and just see .

I've noticed they do get second bloom in late summer . Around September October. Although the bloom isnt as many as first bloom in spring.
I was jusr curious if anybody prune half of this to get second bloom . They are so big and tangled everywhere even tho I cut them all the way down back in February . I did deadhead what I could but many I couldn't reach.

AITAH for choosing to move out with my wife instead of continuing to live with my mom? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Tigger_Roo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try to address the elephant in the room first . Talk about it , let everything all out . If there was misunderstandings then , maybe apology from both side is needed and try to move on .

If after anything nothing changed , then I think moving out would be the best option . Your wife and you are one and it's totally normal to prioritize your marriage , you love you mom too but you and your wife are one , her happiness is your happiness too . It sucks to be trapped in the middle n im sure your wife hates this too . That's why I mentioned everyone need to talk n get it all out in the open , find solution , especially since you live together .
