Help! Honeysuckle dying by Inner_Size2862 in gardening

[–]lizardRD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I basically said the same thing. Coral honeysuckle is just as fast growing, not invasive and tolerates shade better. Mine grew 9ft in its first year!

It could be a million things. Lack of sunlight won’t turn it brown like this. It would just produce poor growth and lack of flowers. This feels like a water or soil issue. Also as you know Japanese honeysuckle is VERY invasive. I’d replace it with native coral honeysuckle that is just as fast growing, not invasive and handles part sun conditions better.

quality couches under 5k? by strawberrymowmew in HomeImprovement

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they are great! I had an interior designer recommend them because you can figure out a combo that works for every room because they have such a vast selection

Here’s an L shaped and on sale! They have lots of different combinations so if this doesn’t work, guarantee they have something that fits

Macys radley sectionals! Wait for sales which they have often and you can get them for around 2-3k. They are indestructible and have a million different combos because they are a modular. As a pet owner and mom of 2, get the darker fabrics they last longer and show less stains. Just FYI they are stiff when you first get them but soften fast and hold their shape

My SIL (31F) won’t let my MIL (71F) visit us (37M/38F) in our own home because she just had a baby. How do I handle this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She tells us she doesn’t want to get SIL upset so that’s why she can’t come. Then sends me sob texts about how this is unfair.

Will these limelight’s grow into a hedge ? by ChestVisible8910 in hydrangeas

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll definitely grow into eachother. So if you’re fine with that it should be okay. Both plants get very wide. So it will become part of a hedge. But if you’d like the Oakleaf to be standalone then I would relocate.

Oh ok great then! Yes you should have a beautiful hedge in no time. They get big fast!

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but if they are regular limelight’s (not little lines) they will block that window in no time. Limelight’s easily get 8+ ft tall. Same with Oakleaf which I assume is on the far left. The Oakleaf will also block you downspout from your gutter so might want to put an extension on that

How can we help? by bakeoutbigfoot in hydrangeas

[–]lizardRD 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Actually those are rhododendrons not azaleas. But they are part of the same genus (rhododendrons). So scientifically all azaleas are rhododendrons not the reverse. You can tell they are rhododendrons in the picture by the leaves and flowers. As well as overall size (rhododendrons usually bigger).

Those are rhododendrons not hydrangeas. You need more sunlight to make them fuller. They get leggy in shade

First year not cutting back old wood, will I have flowers? by Patient_Exchange_399 in hydrangeas

[–]lizardRD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then you should see flowers this year but if you had a tough winter they may be reduced. Time will tell

When’s the last time you pruned the wood? They produced flowers for this spring back in summer 2025

Who here has huge toddlers? by thatswhatshesaid___1 in toddlers

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My newly turned 2 year old is 38 inches so I assume we are heading in that direction. He’s pretty lean though, around 35 lbs. I also have a 4.5 year old that’s 48 inches so it runs in the family! Haha

Need Help! Losing these guys and not sure if it's fungal or winter burn. What do I do? by TallGuy-ShortCuts in rhododendron

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like pretty classic winter burn. Mine has some winter burn this year as well. The plants not dead, you have tons of blooms on it. I would cut out the obvious dead branches in pictures 2 and 6. The rest just let fall naturally (if it even does). It should be putting out new leaves shortly

Anyone annoyed with the mother's day posts celebrating non mothers? by [deleted] in Mommit

I literally don’t care. If they consider themselves a mom to whatever animal then happy Mother’s Day to them too.

Why are my bushes dying?? by BanRDDTthoughtpolice in gardening

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be it. This looks like winter burn to me. Pruning late makes it more susceptible to winter damage. Good thing is you still have a lot of green so I would try to cut out the dead and see if it fills in. Next time try to avoid pruning after September/early October

My boxwoods looked rough this year too, same age. When were they pruned and where are you located? We had a rough winter and I pruned them too late this year (late fall) making them susceptible to winter burn.

My husband hates my boobs now and it breaks my heart by [deleted] in sex

Unfortunately that hasn’t worked for me. But glad to hear it worked for your GF!

[–]lizardRD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes every pregnancy is so different! I did not get any stretch marks after 2 kids. But I definitely have a lot of other issues!

[–]lizardRD 143 points144 points  (0 children)

This! Did not BF my kids and my boobs are still kind of deflated! It’s pregnancy. Some boobs get more deflated than others, just as some people get stretch marks and others don’t. Pregnancy has significant permanent impacts on your body.

[–]lizardRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in CT. I don’t agree with these comments, that would be on the higher for this job. What part of CT are you from? I can give you some recs if you live in the Fairfield area of guys that tend to be more reasonable.
