Though I hardly have a green thumb, I thought I'd share my one and only plant tip with you today: if you buy hydrangeas (or are lucky enough to have your own plant to trim them from), cut the stems on the diagonal and put them in hot (meaning steaming, fog-up-your-bathroom-so-you-can't-even-see-yourself-in-the-mirror-shower-temperature) water. They can last for a really long time. And I haven't tried this trick yet, but apparently you can revive drooping, wilting hydrangeas by putting the stems in boiling hot water. Who knew?
After I give that a whirl tonight, it's back to Priority Number One: ridding my new basil plant of these horrendous little gnat things. (It's just as gross as it sounds.) Anybody have any ideas on what to do?
