@endo That’s it! I didn’t remember it was to do with aluminium though. This is the one in my garden:
-
For hydrangeas or acidifying soil in general you can use a more natural sulfur. More natural than aluminum sulfate--you don't want aluminum sulfate to run off into unintended areas. I use Espoma Soil Acidifier which uses elemental sulfur and gypsum a couple times a year for my hydrangeas, rhodies, azaleas and any other acid loving plants.
I try to keep my garden as organic as possible, but I do use an annual copper spray for a couple plants that have bad powder mildew problems, and an insecticide for ornamentals that have a bad weevil and whitefly problem. The organic methods for those pests and pathogens weren't able to curb the problem.

Thanks I appreciate it! The lady that originally owned this house was a horticulturist. We have random things pop up every season that may not have popped up the year before and may not show up again for a year or two.

This Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo' Floating Clouds Japanese Maple came in the mail(fed ex) today. Hoping it will have the “white” leaves one day… need to do a little more research on soil, planting location, etc.. definitely will keep in the pot throughout the summer, too hot to plant now.

My dad gifted me this young crimson queen Japanese maple about a month ago and has already grown a good 4-5". Using a 50/50 mix of succulent soil and traditional outdoor planting mix. Potted for now as we're unsure if we'll move over the next couple of years.

Thank you! I’ve been in this house for six years and always wondered how old it is. It’s between 8’ to 10’ tall

Getting ready to sell this house and this flower bed was the bane of my existence. Had to call in reinforcements for some help but finally got it looking decent.

Busy as a bee:

That looks fantastic, and it’s also such a great outdoor space!

I needed a place to store my shovels and hoes but have very little space. Introducing the garden closet! Shallow and wide to fit the space. I built it to match my 1920s Craftsman-style house. Doors coming soon.

Introducing the garden closet
And I thought it was a handsome bus stop shelter
Looks great either way!
