Hello All, I am a bad :'( gardener this spring. I did not prune my hydrangea yet and of course it now has humungous new growth. Can I prune it now to a resonable size or will I lose any possible flowers for this summer?? Being a full-time nursing student my poor yard and garden have been neglected. Thanks, Mary Beth
Welcome Mary Beth! I'm no expert on hydrangea's, I've just posted my own request on trees and shrubs. But...I just wanted to welcome you to the stew. You'll get some answers because all the great people on this site are very knowledgable and love to share it. So enjoy!
Hello Mary Beth :-D I'm from Klamath Falls, where is Corbett? PrimSong is from Oregon also Welcome to the Stew, you will love it! Deanna :-D
Welcome to the Stew from East Texas. Glad you joined us. You will find the Stew very addictive and fun.
Hi Mary Beth. A warm welcome to you from sunny South Africa. DO not feel bad at all - I had worse days when I was in formal employment and while studying even worse. THe Stew will definitely help ease the burden.
Hi Mary Beth- it's too late to prune it this year, without sacrificing blooms, but it should submit nicely to it come June or July- much later than that and you will lose blooms for next year. If you still have lots of blooms on it come June, look at it as a way to fill your vases with lovely color!
It looks as though Mary has already answered your question Mary Beth so I'll just say a big, warm WELCOME to our forums from West Lothian in Scotland.

Hello Mary Beth - I'm over on the westside, so I'm not quite as cold as you guys probably get in the Gorge, but glad to have another Pacific NW Stewbie. :-D Looks like you already got your answer, but I hope we'll see more of you with time.
