👋🏼👍🏼 @susieg

Very frosty morning here in Surrey brrrrrrr I still think hydrangeas are beautiful at this time of year 👍🏼 have a good one GTers #hydrangea #winter

Morning Justin, love the photo. Have a great day. 😊😊

Thank you Jane @pelly you too 👍🏼

Morning Justin its a cold one here too, I cut a few stems of mine last year and sprayed a little glitter on them they looked really pretty in a vase! Have a good day

Sounds like a great idea 👍🏼 @janric I have three Annabelle heads in a vase in the dining room which have been there for months and still look great 😀

Morning Justin, love them for all their flowering stages too such great plants 😍 have a great day 😁

Totally agree with you Julie @juliesgarden you too 😀👍🏼

I've often said I enjoy them more when they're decaying 😁 morning Justin morning all 🤗

I always leave mine until early Spring (not sure if I'm meant to but doesn't seem to do any harm?!) so I can enjoy them like this too 👍🏼 @riggers779 have a good day

They take on a different kind of beauty I think @charlottejhurst at this time of year 👍🏼

Afternoon Justin I love them as they fade - well, I love them at any time and I also have several dried ones indoors, the colours are fab! I think you are s'posed to leave the flowers on til Spring...to protect the buds below 👍🏼

Awesome @rachelbrooks then I'm doing the right thing 😀👍🏼

It's FRI-YAY 🎉 #hydrangea still doing its thing #pink #autumn Have a good one GTers 👋

Gawjus 💓💖 Flexi Friday for me have a good day 👍

Ohhhhh lucky you 👍 have a super long weekend @Keely

👋 @rainygirl70

🌸💕🌸💕🌸💕

Morning Justin. 😊

I don't know who you are and I don't follow you and based on your comments to me this morning I won't ever follow you. I find your manner rude and offensive and I've reported your comments to the GT team as how you are interacting with me goes against everything this community is about @rainygirl70

@teamgardentags please see above

Morning Jane @pelly

🙏 @ankur1406

An absolute mass of #pink flowers 😬🌸🌸🌸🌸 #hydrangea

I need mine to take ! 😔

All in good time... @steven2016 👍

That's beautiful 😚

@justin Have you seen it??

The pic of the cuttings you took? Yep 🙌 they're little but they'll grow ok... This ones been in the ground 10 years or so... @steven2016

Glad you think so @charlottejhurst

Oh wow cool! Any idea what I can do to the main plant? I planted it in my garden four weeks ago after I got it from my nans garden. It's looking sad but not sure what I can do to perk it up

Hydrangeas (as per most) are best transplanted or moved when they're dormant (late Autumn) so it's probably in shock right now which is why it's lost it's leaves. Judging by the pic it looks like you've still got green bits on it so hopefully if you keep watering it it'll take. They like to be moist and in free draining soil @steven2016 so fingers crossed for you 👍

Glorious. I do love the showy offness of hydrangeas!

Fabulousness! 🌸🌸🌸 (I know that's not a word, but fabulous just wasn't quite enough 😂)

Amazing colour Justin truly beautiful 👌👌

Until next year 👋 #beautifuldecay

Where you off to @justin somewhere warm & sunny😜

#hydrangea

Lovely

Thank you 👋👍 @kathy

So pretty

Sure is 👍 @mojo glad you like it

All my hydrangeas look so sad compared to all yours and other GT's. 😒

Sorry to hear that Mo... Have you tried feeding them? They also tend to prefer rain water to tap water as this can sometimes be a little hard depending where you live. Try feeding your plants if you haven't next year in late winter/early spring with garden compost or leafmould. Hope this helps 👋 @mojo

I haven't feed them Justin, as the garden is relatively new I thought I wouldn't need to! 😕 The water up here is quite soft and as we've had plenty of rain lately I'm not too worried about that. I will definitely feed them all in the spring though. I'm sure that's the problem. Thanks for the helpful advice, very much appreciated. 🌟👍

Happy weekend GTers 🙌🎉

Happy weekend to you too! 👋🍸🍷😎

Hope you have a good one Janet 👋 @tucksjersey

Right bach atcha! x

Thanks Justin 👋 @justin . Hoping for sun, to sit outside for lunch at our beautiful St Brelade's Bay ☀😎️! Fingers crossed as there's a load of activity on the way, up in them there skies according to the weather forecasts! ☀️⚡️💦⛅️ I check at least 4 forecasts plus BBC morning news and pick the best one, being ever the optimist!! ☀️☀️☀️ 🍸🍸🍸

I really like St Brelades 👏😊

Beautiful

@tucksjersey hi Janet, coming to Jersey next month can you recomend a nice garden to visit?

Hi @garyg ... I would suggest Samares Manor and Reg's Garden for sure. But since being in the w/chair 4 yrs ago I am only just getting back out there other than going to work and spending weekends with friends. Of course visits to our marvellous St Peters Garden Centre continued throughout but the two I've mentioned were places I loved to visit b.c. (before chair!!) . Any other Jersey GTers out there offer a suggestion other than Reg"s & Samares?

Thats great thanks, will look them up.

Just lovely so many tiny flowers making up the display. Love the colour too 🌺

#pink

How pretty is this?! 🌸🏆

Lovely

Thanks Carolyn, glad you like it 🌸 @cnash

Wow stunning! So this is how they grow in London @cara!! Justin do you do anything special with these? Mine haven't flowered this year and @kathy tells me its probably because my soil is too fertile (lots of leave but no flowers) I'm not sure how to solve that problem!

I topdress it in March with a slow release plant food and a bit of compost then water it regularly... Hydrangea's love their water! @David

This is a lovely photo 😍

Glad you like it Chelle! Thanks a lot @giggles ☺️
