thanks for the tip, I'll try it - the blooms are forming already, so it
might be too late. Is there acid in the coffee grounds?

Does it have to be filtered? What about the sludge from the bottom of a
French Press coffee pot?

I thought it was funny... of course I don't belong to the politically
correct - watch what you say - can't chance hurting someones feelings
crowd that so dominates American culture today.

Keep up the 'dry' humor!


What's funny about suffering? In addition, I think that playing the
"politically correct" card is a dishonest way to excuse stupidity and
rudeness. I must be a lot older than you. When I was young, being
considerate of others was called "manners" or "politeness." Apparently now
being considerate is a sign of weakness. Ironically, I think that there is
a large portion of the population who practice their own form of political
correctness, but PC means being rude. It is a way of conforming to the
norms of your social circle -- but it is still PC but dark and mean.

It is acid. I heard you can add now when the flowers are forming....and
slowly will change the colours.

Keep us inform of the results.

What kind of Hydrangea u have?

I sure don't like it either. Where do you buy aluminum sulfate? Could I not
put a (Canadian) coin in the pot???

I don't understand the (Canadian) coin question, but aluminum sulfate
it available at most garden centers with the fertilizers.

Not a good idea to mix plant matter, that has not been composted,
into the soil since the decaying process can leach the nitrogen away
from the plant. Lay it on top and let it age there.

35 and very polite and considerate... I don't curse and I respect my
elders... I don't think I am 'weak' for it.

I just lost my 16 year old cat and I cried like a baby...

You may just take things far too personnally...

Yes, I concur. One of my dogs is in the emergency hospital now on IVs and
feeding tubes, unable to stand, and we don't know why. I have spent most of
the last few days at the vet's office and across town at the animal
hospital.

delurk I'm terribly sorry about your dog == I truly hope he is on
the mend; it's awful when you just don't know what is up. I've always
enjoyed your thoughtful responses.

Thanks for your thoughts. It was very grim over the weekend. Things
started to turn the corner on Monday. She has regained the use of her front
limbs and has some use of her rear limbs. Her neurological status has
improved and her blood glucose has returned to normal. A lot of tests run
over the weekend could not be sent out for evaluation until Monday, and more
were run yesterday. We should have some results today. It is a case where
there is no good pattern that ties together all the symptoms and test
results. I think she will recover, although if I had taken the vet's
recommendation on Friday, she would have been euthanized. We may never know
what caused the problem. It looks like a total recovery may take some time,
barring any relapse.

best wishes for you and your pooch!

And thanks for all the posts about my hydrangea. That thing might never
bloom with all the rain we're having.
