    The front garden is now coming into it's own.
    The azalea will need pruning at the end of the year or it will block the pavement! This was the one my wife bought on Altrincham Market over 20 years ago for we think 50p as it was a demic in a four inch pot. It's little stalk was snapped but still connected to the root, so she repaired with some Sellotape. Over the years I've layered it so that it nearly fills the border. I even took a couple of layered sections out and re-planted them in the back garden
    One rhodo is just about finished, two more to come out.
    There's another azalea at the extreme right end, we call "the plastic one" as the pink flowers look very "artificial."
    The lawn is "two tone" because I've scarified most of it but not touched the new turf I laid after laying the edging pavers a couple of weeks ago.
    There's a couple of viburnums in there, that flower pretty much all year round, c'ept at the moment!
