Anything I should do now to prompt some good blooms?
No, I don't know what kind they are.
They bloomed the first three summers I had the house, they did not bloom the past two summers. Lots of big green leaves, though.
Hydrangeas?

They are a delicacy for deer, so you want to keep the deer away from the buds. They don't like oaks, so you want to assure there are no oak roots about.
They like a good, high potash fertilizing now and then. Lots of sun helps, too.
The lush green leaves suggest they are getting enough water, light, and nitrogen, maybe not enough balanced fertilizer.
My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

First a chair now flowers.. If you put your leftover panty hose in the garden, your hydrangeas should bloom nicely..
Ason, I keep planets in orbit.

I think he's in some sort of high maintenance phase.

This is Stone's way of auditioning for the next Admin position.
“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.
Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.
You don't have to move on until you're ready.”

Thank you, this is helpful. Not sure how to keep the deer away, since wrapping them in burlap would defeat the purpose. Although a neighbor once told me that putting a bar of Irish Spring soap in the bushes will keep the deer away. (I eagerly await the tedious comments from the peanut gallery.) Perhaps I'll try it.

I had some friends whose roses kept getting devoured by deer. They didn't know about Irish Spring. Curious to see if this really works.
That shit cray.
