A lovely story 3Dogs:A

I've grown most of mine from cuttings and find they need very little attention. I have a friend who detests them with a passion and I think it's one of those love them or hate them types of bushes. But what's not to like? Even when the flower heads are skeletal and dying, I think they look beautiful....especially in frost.

Is yours getting leggy.......could it do with a prune?

No, its the opposite, no height at all . First winter/spring I cut it right down, then I read that you cut out old growth as flowers grow on one year old branches, so this winter I just left it. Perhaps ater it more might help My hose doesn't reach through house (and leaks at joint anyway) so it's watering can, and my back and knees aren't up to doing that too often. I hereby promise to water it more

One of my DH's favorites too Susan ..the Hydrangeas do need a lot of water though so maybe that is what it is lacking;)

Back after my few days at my sisters the family picnic at a fab park in Wantage. Went with dd and dgd. Picnic then interactive splash play for smaller ones the a huge game of rounders with 4 generations taking part. I had to sit it out this year as trapped my sciatic nerve on sat morning while washing my hair. Today I have got to the stage where I am alright sitting down or standing it's the bit in between I can't do. Even worse I can't drive to visit N. Another couple of days and will hopefully be a distant memory.
Had a lovely time sorting dad's photos. Many 1900 or earlier and we managed to put faces to names on the family tree. I think I am more fascinated with the postcards from 1900 to 1910. I know who caught what bus when and who met them hence building an idea of which family members were closest.
In other news I have eaten 5 strawberries from my garden now. Didn't plant many as wasn't sure if they were easy to grow.
