Stink Bug Rehoming
Where should I put a stink bug if I want to rehome it instead of killing it? It will die a horrible death if I suck it up with a vacuum cleaner. Will it survive outside on a tree if it is used to living in my home?

Winter protection for Lace Cap Hydrangea
I have a lace cap hydrangea that has only had decent flowers one year. Every other year the buds on the old stalks and buds have dried up presumably from freezing. What I need to know is if this happens during the winter or only during a spring frost episode. Also, I would like to learn how to protect it. I have a frost blanket but maybe it's too late for this year (see attached photos). Thanks, Norm
