So leaves are starting to sprout from my hydrangea bushes...

should I fertilize them now, or wait a few weeks?

Bone meal? Fish meal? Coffee grinds?

I've never done it either, but I have all the stuff, and I heard if you use your coffee grounds LaydeeBug Feb 2017 #2

(Sunday, when I left; saw a few little greenies. I'll return home Sunday/Monday, and check.)

I've never fertilized them, the 4 years I've lived there.
