Smooth hydrangeas, bloom on new wood and can be pruned anytime between full dormancy, which is after it’s consistently under 32° at night, all the way through early spring. Mophead hydrangeas bloom on old wood. They produce their buds in late summer early fall. Those buds will then become the next year‘s blooms. If you prune these after late summer, you will be cutting off the next year‘s blooms. Comment “VARIETY” and I’ll send you a reel on how to identify the different Hydrangea varieties. If your mophead hydrangea has gotten out of control, the only safe time to prune is directly after it blooms in the summer, but never after mid August. For more inform

Start this project by removing the hook and chains from the basket, turn one wire basket upside down and place on top of a second basket. Secure together by using three zip ties that are placed equistant from each other. Now, take a string of LED lights and fill the battery box with batteries. Remote control LED lights are best for this project. But it will work without the remote style as well. Hang the battery box inside the basket globe and connect to the top. Turn the lights on and wrap the lights evenly around the globe both vertically and horizontally. Secure the end of the light string to the basket using a twist tie. Using a leafy garland of your choice like this eucalyptus garland cut off the various leaves at their base. Using a garland is much more cost effective for this project than using lots of different separate picks because you can get lots of different leaves in shorter lengths. Start to tuck and glue the different leaves to the wire basket globe. You don't need to cover the globe entirely. In fact, keep the placement of the leaves just a little sparse so the LED lights can shine through. Now, remember all those chains and hooks that you removed from the baskets. Let's put them good use. Using a screwdriver or scissors, wedge it into the bottom of the hook and loosen so the chains can be removed from the hook. Reconfigure the chains by connecting three chains to create one long chain, two chains to create one medium chain and leave one chain as is. Reconnect these chains of different lengths to the hooks and tighten the hook back together using some pliers. You can these from any ceiling hook or even a tree branch. If you have a porch swing, here is a fun way to hang the globes without drilling additional holes into your porch ceiling. Thread the stick through your porch swing ceiling hooks to create a horizontal rod and hang your garden globes from the branch. Use your remote to turn the lights on and enjoy the warm glow of your new outdoor lighting. I hope is inspired you to create beautiful outdoor garden globe lighting from inexpensive Dollar Store hanging baskets. Thanks for watching Hometalk. I'll see you next time.
