Full of promise

Garden Variety It looks like it is going to be a wonderful year for hydrangeas.

More flower buds than I have ever seen on my mophead. And my oakleaf, too.

Anybody need me to do flowers for a wedding?

(If you have questions about your hydrangeas, one of the best websites I've found is All About Hydrangeas, with pruning and fertlizing and drying infomation and lots more.)

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
