Glad to see you are still stalking me Greg! Greg Draiss — Draiss began his career in the lawn and garden industry in 1982, purchasing nursery stock for a small New York garden center. His love for gardening can be traced back to his grandfather, Frank Draiss, who served as President Franklin D. Roosevelt's private gardener at FDR's Hyde Park estate. Eleanor was an environmentalist and did not promote chemicals in the garden...

hydrangeas require morning sun before shade in the afternoon. why in annother video do you say to cut hydrangeas all the way to the ground.....also if you wait til fall to prune macrophylla varieties they will not bloom next year. THIS WOMAN IS A CLULESS HORTICULTURAL ASTE OF TIME
