@gardening.with.ish: If you’re worried your plants like this hydrangea didn’t make it through the winter or you want to check a plant on the sale rail at the garden centre, you can do a simple test to check if it’s going to be ok. By doing the scratch test you’ll be able to check if your plant is still very much alive and well. Quick and easy gardening tips to ensure you don’t accidentally throw them away! #gardeningtips #planttips #hydrangea #gardeninghacks #gardeningforbeginners

Could do the same with the likes of a Portuguese laurel hedge? Only planted them last spring but were in a new build and soil is poor so they don’t look great now after winter!

I’ve got a hydrangea like this that’s still alive! Is there anything I need to do to bring it back to life a bit ready for summer?🌸

Just moved to a new house which has a mystery ‘tree’ at the bottom of the garden. It looks like a baby tree whose growth is stunted and hasn’t changed from Feb to now. Could I use this same trick?

I've done this with a few saplings I planted last year, they all looked dead, did the scratch test and its saved them from being uprooted and thrown out
