But you need a male and female plant to get 'fruit'. There are some that will set on there own, so be sure to ask first.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer, I think some years are better than others as to how the hydrangeas grow. This summer was awful and they're doing wonderfully well. <BR/><BR/>As for rosehips, yes, you do 'smoosh' them sort of. What I do is cut the large ones open and take out the furry bits, especially if making tea. If not I crush them then strain them. Its said they are better after a touch of frost.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-78912671472695009762008-09-30T08:33:00.000-02:302008-09-30T08:33:00.000-02:30The photos look really neat :)Our hydrangea won't ...The photos look really neat :)<BR/><BR/>Our hydrangea won't flower :/ It is growing new limbs and leaves but no flowers. Going to put it in the ground this winter and see if that helps. I didn't know you could use rose hips for anything. There are so many rose bushes/hedges in the front lawn, covered with spots of red. Do you smoosh the rose hips?Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-89819196889755855282008-09-29T22:34:00.000-02:302008-09-29T22:34:00.000-02:30Hi Jeanette,Your hydrangea photo looks like a very...Hi Jeanette,<BR/>Your hydrangea photo looks like a very intriguing and challenging reference photo. You go girl!<BR/><BR/>I love hops and I would like to try growing them here now that I have room for them. I once saw a British magazine with an article on homes that used dried hops for decorating. I was smitten.<BR/><BR/>I love your white pumpkins in yesterday's post. Fantastic! I love your colours and what a wonderful job using acrylics.Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.com
