Why Deer Love Your Azaleas (Oops!)

Thinking about planting azaleas for those gorgeous blooms? Heads up: deer are obsessed with them! If you’ve got deer in your area, these pretty bushes are basically an all-you-can-eat buffet. Want your garden to stay lush? Try peonies, lilacs, or lavender instead—deer usually pass them by. But if you’re set on azaleas, you’ll need fences or repellent to keep those hungry visitors away. Your future self (and your garden) will thank you! #GardeningTips #DeerProof #Azaleas #Home

Hydrangeas in July: The Secret Struggle

Who knew hydrangeas get so dramatic in July? The summer heat can zap their color and make them wilt, even if you’re watering regularly. Pro tip: give them morning sun, afternoon shade, and deep water every 4-6 hours. Skip the fertilizer for now—mulch is your BFF. And if you’re snipping blooms for a vase, don’t cut too much or you’ll mess up next year’s flowers! Hydrangeas are high-maintenance divas this month, but totally worth it for those vibrant blooms. #Hydrangeas #GardeningTips #SummerGarden #Home

How to Kick Pests Off Your Fruit Trees

Did you know you can literally shake pests off your fruit trees? If you spot tiny green aphids or notice your tree’s leaves curling, just lay a tarp under the tree, spray it down with water, and give it a gentle shake (or tap the branches). The bugs drop right off! For extra protection, rinse the leaves with soapy water or try cinnamon as a natural bug repellent. Just don’t go wild—be gentle so you don’t hurt your tree! #gardeningtips #fruittrees #organicgardening #Home

Hydrangeas & Roses Need This Watering Hack!

Did you know your hydrangeas and roses could be in serious trouble during this heatwave? Florist David Denyer says the trick is all about timing and technique: water your plants before 9 am or after 7 pm, and skip the quick sprinkle—go for a slow, deep soak at the base. If your blooms still look sad, move them to the shade or group pots together to keep them cool. Your summer garden will thank you! #GardeningTips #HeatwaveHacks #PlantCare #Home
