Before and after ...

Just been going through my pics and comparing old to new ...

2011 - this Azalea was in my front border (planted by previous owner) and looking a bit straggly and sad. Gave it a haircut and some feed.



2012 - It has rewarded me with this:

Now I really must put as much time and effort into doing some of the non gardening type jobs, such as replacing the garage door, etc but they'll have to wait until next year.

 

Great stuff, Merle.

And what a clever cat.

 

That's Mia. She loves lying on the pots in the shade

 

Brilliant difference, that azalea is beautiful.

 

Is that your miss kim dwarf lilac on the last pic??

 

I don't know if it's a miss kim but it is some sort of dwarf lilac

 

I bought one last yr but it didnt flower this yrmaybe i will put it in a pot awell

 

Fingers crossed for next year. Mine has actually just flowered again on the new growth. I seem to remember it did the same last year which I put down to the weather

Do you have it in full sun?

 

Yes it was getting at least 6hrs ..when we had some sun that is does semm to have bushed out any either,i will dig it up and move it to the back garden,maybe i will have some luck next spring

 

there you go see...a bit of care and hey presto....lovely
(ps..i put my 2 furry lads on the pet thread merle)

 

Please give Mia a little hug from me, she's a little darlin'

Wow! When you graft 2 dogs you get a cat! Who knew?!?
It looks super Merle! Sometimes I think looking at before and after gives you a real boost. Surprising how much stuff grows and changes over time!
