It’s no secret to my gardening friends that I have a love affair with hydrangeas.
By the time we moved from我们的山寨花园我曾种植过 - 享受 - 十条八仙花属，包括无尽的夏天，老式的泪水，枫叶绣球花，以及训练成树形的小便绣球花。
But the last one I planted, and maybe loved the most, was a小酸橙绣球花。
小莱姆绣球是一个矮人版的Limelight Hydrangea，增长3-5英尺，而不是6-8英尺。
我在我们的小半圈床上种植了灌木丛gravel patio in the back yardthat also included a standardPee Gee Hydrangea(you can just see it at the top of the first photo). That plant’s blossoms start white and also turn pink and green by the end of the season so the two hydrangeas really complimented each other.
您可以从房子的所有后窗看到这张床以及在外面吃饭时，绣球花使其成为我整个院子的最爱之一，从四月到10月份提供兴趣和颜色。

Why Grow Little Lime Hydrangea?
种植这种小灌木有很多原因。
First and foremost is the blossoms。由于小石灰在我种植它的地方可见，因此我可以享受开花发展的每个阶段。
开花开始，嗯......石灰绿色（是的，它的命名很好）在松散的Paniculata（锥形）的形状中，然后随后改变它。
奖金！这种植物在整个季节里不断开出新的石灰绿色花朵，类似于无尽的夏天因为它在新的木头上开花。
As the blooms age, they become tipped with mauvy-pink, which continue to change over time to a greenish-white color with subtle pink highlights.
One of my favorite things about hydrangeas is that most of the varieties have blooms that change color and shades throughout the season!
成长矮人版的逼迫的另一个原因是它有缺口和下垂茎的问题要少得多that the larger shrub seems to have.
It’s也几乎是一种“种了就忘了”的灌木。Give it a yearly layer of soil-feeding compost (over alayer of newspaper当然），然后在春天进行修剪，这是关于维护的。
Other than clipping all the lovely blooms you want, that is.
如何种植小酸橙绣球花
- 在排水良好的土壤中种植少量石灰，并在3-8区部分遮荫的区域使用堆肥进行改良（气候较暖的区域应选择午后遮荫的区域）。
- You can also plant this in a container, where it will keep more in the 3 foot range for height.
- Cover the base with a layer of soil-feeding compost when planting and then cover with newspaper and mulch to keep weeds away.
- 旱季定期浇水。
- Prune and shape the plant to 1-2 feet in late winter or early spring to encourage new blooms and strong stems.
- If growing a hedge, plant them about 4 feet apart. They grow 3-5 feet in both height and width (though my experience with growing in a sunny location was the full five feet tall).
剩下的is to enjoy your blooms!
用小酸橙绣球装饰
Little Lime hydrangea is super easy to dry at the mature stage – just cut the flowers and set them in containers to enjoy all through the winter months.
我们制作了一个简单的长盒子从拯救的木头上为我们的桌子，添加了小石灰绽放和几个白迷你'婴儿嘘'南瓜和秋天装饰 - 完成！
Add some of the cut blossoms to a vintage galvanized container for the porch and you have a cute look that will last all fall.
我喜欢一年前我用传统的绿球罐装罐制作的简单的斗篷，每个罐里都有一朵小小的大石灰花。甜蜜而简单，就像从夏末到秋天的过渡，在所有的南瓜都出来之前。
小石灰绣球花被选为2016年的年度景观植物，我完全明白为什么！
I’m sad that I can’t plant it in mynew farmhouse景观（Dratted Deer ......），但我肯定会在我围栏的花园里种植一个，所以我可以削减一些华丽的绽放。
Do you grow Little Lime – or will you now?

Yes, I have 5 hydrangeas in our garden, 2 Limelight, 2 Tiny Tuff Stuff and 1 that’s supposed to be another Tuff Stuff, but the leaf is much larger, still a hydrangea but I think it’s a case of miss-labeling…so don’t know what it is yet as it’s not bloomed in it’s second year by our well. It may be a “large leaf hydrangea.” We love hydrangeas too. I’d not planted them for years because of pH problems, but then took the cautious step and planted a big Limelight which is beautiful and caused us to toss caution to the northern winds and plant the remaining 4. My only disappointment is that there is no fragrance to the blooms nor do they attract pollinating insects.

My submission this week is #25, but I didn’t post the title correctly :-(. Anyway, it’s an account of our trip to a pick-your-own farm to gather green tomatoes. Hubby’s favourite is a recipe for French-Canadian Green Tomato Ketchup (sort of like Chow Chow). Thank you for the opportunity to share, and enjoy your week!

The summer harvest is peaking and so is food preservation. I’m sharing my recipe for canned tomato sauce and pizza sauce as well as a trick to cutting corn off the cob without making a mess.
Thanks for hosting!

Hi Jami: Wow–what a beautiful hydrangea you have! I love that it is a smaller one–that would make it easier to fit into a variety of garden areas. Thank you so much for hosting the party today! I have been reading your weight loss section–very inspirational for me.

Hi Jamie, I love your hydrangea! They are so pretty. I linked up a post about getting ready to build our passive house out at our homestead. We are finally building this fall!! I can’t wait to get out to our barn and my gardens. Thanks for hosting and have a great week!

PS…they don’t necessarily need a lot of shade, it depends on the variety and how hot it is in your area. I have had the oak leaf and pee gee types out in full sun with very good luck. You just need to be sure to water them
