If you were paying attention in high school chemistry, you
know the soil pH determines
the color of your hydrangea flowers.

If you weren’t, or you just don’t remember it, watch
“Gardening in Georgia”
on Georgia Public Television July 6 and 8. Host Walter Reeves
will show you exactly how to
change the color of your hydrangea blooms.

Walter will show different ways to stake tomato plants, too,
to
keep the leaves and
tomatoes off the ground.

He’ll also take a look at soaker hoses. Sure, they’re easy to
use, but how much water
do they apply to the soil? Walter shows how to figure it out
using a plastic bag and a
bucket.

Finally, Walter visits with Tara Dillard for some unique tips
on hanging baskets. Tara
inserts plants into the side of a hanging basket, not just on
top.
