Well even a seasoned gardener makes mistakes. Duh!
I created a new garden in the last blank corner of my back yard. Just some simple shrubs and perennials (Purple Sand Cherry, Boxwood, Weigelia, Stella D'Oro daylily and a Hydrangea. I transplanted all these from other areas in my yard. Well didn't we decide to have a heat wave the next week. Silly me.
"Never transplant established shrubs after the first of July, you never know how hot it is going to get.
I think I am going to lose the Hydrangea. All the leaves turned brown and fell off and looks like shit. Half of the Weigelia did the same but seems to be bouncing back. I have turned the soil a few times cause I have clay in hopes to get some oxygen in there without creating pockets. It is watered sufficiently. Lessoned learned again, I am crossing my fingers cause I liked that shrub.

The funny thing is, the place where I had the Hydrangea was the worst. I basically had it on the side of my house in clay and gravel. The bugger should be happy it's is an actual garden now. All the rest seem to over come the shock now, the daylily is still blooming, lol. I will give the Hydrangea another few days of tlc to come back. I am going to fert today with some "Muskie" fish emulsion nutes.The sand cherry will over come anything, I have moved it several time. The rabbits eat it to the ground, it always comes back.
But hey, at least I have some visual colour in that corner now even if I have to replace that shrub.

Well the Hydrangea lives on. It dropped all it's leaves and is now growing new ones. Nice vibrant green leaves coming out now. Isn't nature fascinating?

Wow that's awesome. Yeah we have a japanese hydrangea in our backyard and we trim it nearly to nothing sometimes and it bounces back into a FULL bush in a month or so.
