Hi everyone. My wife and I are wanting to expand our garden to potatoes and Pumpkins - but we're a bit late on sprouting our own seedlings (basically what started as a few plants has become an addiction!).

Does anyone know where we might be able to get some potato and pumpkin seedlings? I'm going to call Agway in the morning. I called tractor supply and they said no dice. Rural King is next and if all else fails, we'll sprout our own potatoes and will hope for the best.

Any advice helps!

Hi everyone - just sharing so everyone is aware and my apologies if this was shared already and I missed it.

There are AI traffic control cameras on 79 at / near the Wexford exit. This is in the construction zone where they are working on the exit and overpass.

I know because I received a speed violation in the mail, and the cameras take a picture of your vehicle and license plate. The first violation you receive is a warning. From there, you can receive fines.

The speed limit in the construction zone is 55. I'm not sure how much over you have to go to receive the violation, and most of the time there's so much traffic there you can't speed. But if you do, be prepared to get a notice in the mail.

Again, just sharing so everyone is aware.

Hi everyone - I'm coming here for advice, knowing full well we're doomed this year.

My wife has beautiful hydrangea bushes. We have a lot going on this year with our families and I hired a guy to do some landscaping for us. Mulch, trim some bushes in the front, etc. He's a great guy and honestly meant no harm what so ever - but he's not exactly a gardner.

Unfortunately, he scalped my wife's hydrangeas and cut the stems back pretty far. All the old wood growth from three years of growing is now gone. We know we won't get flowers this year, and we've just accepted that as fate. It's literally heartbreaking to my wife and to me, it's heartbreaking to see her so upset. I know this is a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but with everything going on in our lives, it's just like the cherry on top.

Okay, sorry for the sob story. Onto my question.

Is there anything we can do to help promote the best growth possible? This year is doomed. But any types of fertilizers or organic methods that will really promote healthy regrowth? We live in SW PA if that helps at all.

Any advice is welcomed!
