Kurt-- I was wondering if the two times you were bitten if you were wearing gloves? Here in Texas everything bites big time. I never know about snakes, scorpions,or spiders. I can not move wood, rocks, debris, or reach in a plant without gloves. It was an adjustment for me because in other places I didn't t have to worry about what was lurking around. With gloves I feel clumsier but safer. Your hydrangea looks good! Can't wait to see blooms. Have a joy filled day and stay safe!
