LOL!! In warmer parts of the country, it is suggested to not plant anything in July!! However, that does not necessarily apply everywhere and we have no idea where Ashley is located, what kind of hydrangeas she has (no registered cultivar called Flower Bomb) and the siting of the plants in question or the existing soil conditions. If just planted three weeks ago, I would assume 99% of the problem is transplant shock. Water slowly and deeply and keep the plant shaded. It should recover.

Hi Johelen..You can be more assertive by being more assertive...He probably will think you re the mean stepmother, but if you cant afford it, you cant afford it....My DH refused to give SS money(he didnt really even need it)he had money of his own and a great job, but wanted DH to pay for half his wedding....SS figured it was me saying no, so he really hasnt communicated with his dad in over a year now..If a grown child cant accept the fact you cant(or dont want )to give a handout, what can you do? Hold your head up and let him get angry, I guess...

Hi again, senior gal ... ... wow! when I saw the title of the thread ... I thought ... "What a quick reply!". And, now that I read the substantial missive, written in that short time ... it looks as though I'm not referring to the same husband that you were caring for when you joined Gardenweb. But ... a great story! Thanks for sharing (with this old fart)! I met my ex-, an Iowa gal, on a blind date when she, who'd transferred from Iowa State to Cornell (hospital diet program) met me, a missionary who'd helped refugees re-establish in Korea just after the Korean War ... ... and she wasn't my date. We began seeing one another ... and there was talk of marriage ... but I suggested that she finish her degree, which she did, then travelled to Korea, where we were married, with no member of either family in attendance. Son born there, has dual citizenship, and the Japanese shopgirls went ga-ga over his fine, flaxen hair when we were en route home when he was about 20 mos. Daughter born here ... Sue back to her career when she entered kindergarten, worked as second head and head of food service in a substantial psych. hosp. near here. We were together for 11 years, apart for 40 years. When there was talk of closing her hosp. or a similar one nearby ... she took early retirement, had 10 years to have a ball ... ... and she, who'd fed millions - ironically, contracted colon cancer, died 7 years ago, at 66. "Kids" (50ish) said that in the ordinary course of things, she'd have retired the year before, and I added that she'd have been sick for most of that ... ... but, having taken early retirement ... she'd had 10 years to have a ball (including travelling in her RV from FL to TX between about mid-Dec. to mid-Mar. - and to AZ when daughter lived there). Good wishes to you and your loved-one-deferred. ole joyful
