These hydrangea varieties produce new growth each spring, then bloom from that growth later in the summer. They tend to bloom later than hydrangeas that bloom on old wood, since varieties that produce new wood need that extra time to create buds. The following varieties bloom on new wood: Panicle hydrangeas (H. paniculata), such as PeeGee or Limelight. These can be pruned into a tree form to make it a focal point of the garden. Smooth hydrangeas (H. arborescens), such as Annabelle Use the images at http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/identify.html to help you identify what kind of hydrangea you have before you start making any plans to prune your plant. Since these varieties produce their blooms on new stems, you want to prune them in the winter before they start growing. This is the best time of year to prune new wood varieties, but you can prune them at other times of year as well - just avoid pruning them right before they're about to bloom in the spring and early summer. You can cut back all the stems by 1/3 in the winter. Pruning at this time will help the shrub produce bigger, showier flowers. However, many gardeners like their hydrangeas to have smaller flowers on sturdier stems. If this is your preference, do your pruning in the fall instead, to allow the plants to grow strong branches before blooming. Use hand shears or loppers to take out dead canes and branches that are crossed or tangled. This will free up the plant and allow for better airflow, encouraging it to grow stronger. Hydrangea flowers tend to be on the heavy side, so don't go overboard pruning old canes. Leave a good network of canes intact so that the branches don't flop over under the weight of the flowers.

Q: The noodle blade is the perfect way for you to recreate your favorite pasta dishes with noodles made from healthy alternatives. Some Italian dishes you might want to consider, and some foods to use in making these dishes, include: Spaghetti and meatballs, linguine and clams, noodles carbonara, baked pasta, and more. Potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and others. The noodle blade of your spiralizer is also well suited to making the kinds of noodles served in Asian stir fry dishes. Use sesame oil and a splash of teriyaki sauce to saute noodles made from things like: Carrots, daikon radishes, potatoes, turnips, zucchini, and so on. A simple saute of your spiralized veggies will need a little bit of cooking oil added to a heated pan. Toss the spiralized veggies in the oil until they are tender but crunchy. Allow the veggies to cool, and they're ready to be eaten. After your veggies are finished being sauteed, you might want to add some seasoning, like a little bit of salt, pepper, garlic, and more. You can boil your spiralized food in a sauce or a soup to give it impart it with the flavor of that sauce or soup. This is an excellent way of adding nuance to the flavor of your spiralized food. Simply add the food to the boiling pot and cook it for five to seven minutes. Residual heat in soup and sauce will continue to cook your spiralized food even after you turn off the heat of your stove. For this reason, you may want to slightly under cook food when boiling it. Transfer your spiralized food to a microwave safe dish. Then moisten a piece of paper towel and place it over top the food. Microwave the veggies in two minute intervals. When the veggies are tender, but still crunchy, they are ready to eat. In some cases, while microwaving, liquid can form in the bottom of your container. Drain liquid from the food before serving it or cooking it with anything else.
A: Re-imagine Italian pasta dishes. Create an exotic Asian stir fry. Saute your spiralized veggies simply. Boil your spiralized food. Microwave spiralized food for fast preparation.

Article: This process is fairly simple, and you'll be able to use the jig every time you want to cut a piece of wood. Use a sheet of 1/4" plywood as your base. Cut a piece about 10" wide and about 4' long.(If your project is much larger, make the base longer to provide more stability.) Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to form a "fence." The fence should be a few inches wider than the width of your saw's motor and should be as long as your base. Align the base and the fence at the ends and one long edge. Use wood glue and screws to glue the base and the fence together. Clamp the jig to the edge of a work table. If you don't have one, you can secure a large sheet of plywood to two sawhorses and clamp the jig to the edge of that. Align your circular saw with the fence and cut along the base. This will trim any excess and make sure the jig fits your particular saw perfectly. Mark the line you want to cut on the back side of the piece of wood: this will keep the front of the wood from splintering. Align the cutting jig with the line you just marked. Clamp the jig to the wood. Place the "good side" of the wood face-down. Circular saws cut clockwise, which means that most of the splintering happens on the side of the wood facing the blade. Pushing the saw away from you, move the saw steadily and slowly along the jig. You should have a straight cut!
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Create a cutting jig for your saw. Use a pencil and a straightedge to mark your line on the wood. Place the wood and cutting jig on sawhorses or a work table. Align your saw with the fence on your jig.
