Should I Move Them To a Pot or Leave In the Ground?
Comments (2)Stop fertilizing them. Hydrangeas aren't heavy feeders, but most importantly, their first year in the ground is about establishing healthy root systems, not about top growth. I don't even like the idea of MG soil in the hole, but you can't do anything about it now. However, you must stop adding additional fertilizer. Just plain water....See MoreShould I leave my seedlings out tonight?
Comments (7)Kristin, It is hard to suggest to someone else what to do with their seedlings because none of us live in your exact climate/weather conditions nor do we know how strong your plants are, so we're just guessing. I usually harden my plants off first for a week on a screened-in porch where the screening provides some wind and sun protection. Then they go outside for 1 hr. the first day, 2 hrs. the second, 3 hrs. the third, etc. Once they are able to stay outside from sunrise to sunset, I leave them on the screened-in porch or in the potting shed which protects them from night-roaming plant-eaters like rabbits and deer but exposes them to cooler night air. If the temps are forecast to drop below 45 degrees, they go into the well-insulated barn. If a surprise snow storm or high winds arrive, they may find themselves spending a day or two in the garage. I never leave mine outside in the yard at night because if I did, the deer would throw a wild party and invite all their friends and I wouldn't have any seedlings by the next morning. I'd say that if you feel comfortable leaving them outside at night, go ahead, but be aware that any wild things, including domestic cats and dogs, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, etc. roaming around at night may 'visit' them, and sometimes you have surprising number of animals roaming even in suburban areas. Also, always trust your instincts about the weather and do not trust the forecast. I have had a forecast of an overnight low of 50 lull me into a false sense of security only to have plants damaged when the overnight low dropped to 32 degrees. I learned an important lesson there. If your wind is forecast to blow higher than maybe 12-15 mph all night, I wouldn't leave them out. They need a break from the wind, and it has been relentless all week and should be strong again tomorrow. Dawn...See MoreCan I leave them out yet?

Comments (11)It depends.... Do you plan to do your prep on the island or in the corner? Do you/someone else frequently load/empty/open the DW while you're prepping and/or cooking? If you plan to prep in the corner, yes, it will be in the way if anyone needs to get to the DW. In this case, switching the DW & TC will (1) get the DW out of the prep zone and (2) put the TC in the prep zone as well as the clean up zone (preferred!). The switched position also keeps the cleanup zone separate from both the prep and cleanup zones. However, if you switch them, the DW will block the aisle b/w the island and the sink wall when open. It may or may not be an issue. If it were my kitchen, I would probably switch them. To me, the switched positions seem to be the most useful and have the fewest cons. BTW...where's the MW? Is that a small pantry to the left of the refrigerator?...See Morechloebud
