I don't know if it's my soil or what, but everything tends to grow big in my garden.

Little Limelight is one of them, Bobo is another small hydrangea. I have both in my garden and they are blooming profusely. I live in a similar cold zone with a long harsh winter and then a short hot summer.Julie Culshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988026665697924548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-165581216337813402018-08-19T18:50:37.189-05:002018-08-19T18:50:37.189-05:00Thank you!Thank you!Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-59572555443726729472018-08-19T18:50:25.980-05:002018-08-19T18:50:25.980-05:00Thanks so much!

But I love the dahlia idea. I will have to order some this spring.Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-54494250880725636152018-08-19T18:48:29.448-05:002018-08-19T18:48:29.448-05:00Oh, thank you.

I also love all the creatures gardening brings to the yard.Amy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878073765579182362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-28578049326119896932018-08-19T12:20:26.957-05:002018-08-19T12:20:26.957-05:00What beautiful flowers!What beautiful flowers!Midnight Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421913320445099664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-75184676849894060002018-08-19T11:35:13.721-05:002018-08-19T11:35:13.721-05:00The Lilies are beautiful Amy and loving that prett...The Lilies are beautiful Amy and loving that pretty Marigold you found.

Annuals are expensive plus a lot of work each year. There are some lovely new hydrangeas out there with long bloom times. And I am won over by dahlias. Someone here in our town plants a row of them and she has blossoms for 2-3 months. They do have to be dug up in the fall and over wintered, but after planting they require no work at all.Julie Culshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988026665697924548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365694657538005233.post-71998048081269543472018-08-19T01:28:57.325-05:002018-08-19T01:28:57.325-05:00It's truly amazing!
