Climbing Hydrangea

 

Look at this beautiful lady!

Ok, I don't know if my climbing hydrangea is a lady or a dude, but, it's looking great lol!

I'm so excited about those little bloom buds. This type of Hydrangea can take a couple of years to bloom as a new planting. I put this one out last summer. No blooms but it grew, and made it through the winter with no problem. Even though we had that crazy arctic blast around Christmas!

If you're considering a climbing hydrangea, pick a planting site that is either light or full shade, dapple light , or some early morning sun. 

Any hot direct sun will wilt them up and they won't thrive, and may even die. 

They like light moisture but not consistently wet feet. 

Once you find a spot that they like, they'll take off! I think they're beautiful on structures, as well as trees which is where this one will be growing. If you need to prune them, do so right after they bloom. Any other time of year, and you will cut off your blooms because these bloom on the previous years growth. 

Happy growing!

Hi all! It's a busy busy busy time for me around here! Potting, watering,  transplanting, pruning, and propagating always. I haven't set eggs for quite a while, but gave a whole lot to a big Cochin girl who's broody and is a good momma. So, maybe in a month or two I'll have silkie chicks available. I didn't want babies during the cold months this year, but now it's time to get with it lol. 

I have listed many plants on my Facebook page, so please visit over there to see what's available. I just haven't got the time to always update here, facebook and Instagram!  I appreciate all of you who've purchased from me, and I hope everything grows beautifully for you! 

Hope all is well with you guys..come by my page:

Economical way to start your small or large home vineyard! Self sufficiency, to include raising some of our own food, has never been more important in my opinion.

Hello Fall And My Backyard Nursery

 

Hi all! 

So sorry that I've been "absent" from really all of my online platforms. There were many challenges and changes for me this year. I lost my dad to cancer July 4th, which has left our family so lost and that we hardly know what to do with ourselves. He was a big man, and a big presence, and will be missed every single day until we see him again on the other side...

I also started the backyard nursery and have fought the heat, now drought, pests and weeds all summer. Everything is set up just very basic and I have plans for how I want to set up things and "grow" as time goes on. So far, everything is doing fairly well, to include rooting hundreds of cuttings! We had record heat this summer, and now we're getting record cold. Missouri! It's really a challenge to raise living things here with the radical weather we get. For now, I'll be focusing on mainly boxwoods and other evergreens, and hydrangeas to include hydrangea trees. I'll have a few other things as well, but those are my main projects. 

I do have a few silkies available if anyone local is looking. I'm not shipping chicks at this time, and don't know if I will in the future. I will however, be shipping liner size plants. 

I hope you all are doing well. I'm so glad most of the horrible heat is outta here! 

Take care!
