Rhodadendrom and AzaleasI'm extremely good at killing plants....and hopeless at nurturing them
Today we've bought and potted up (bought the special compost for them too  ) ..one biggish red rhodadendrom and four smallish azaleas. Is there ANYTHING I should know to stop killing them? While we were at the checkout, a couple of elderly ladies told us that they LOVE cold tea...(the plants...not the old dears - although probably quite partial to a cuppa and a macaroon) I've done a google...but can find nothing

Rhodadendroms and Azaleas.....
Care Tips - Remember to water regularly - with rainwater if you live in a hard water area - as they hate drying out. Dry brown leaves usually indicates underwatering whereas firm yellow leaves means it has been watered with hard water. Katy xx |

We went out today and bought some climbers for our Pergola thingy that Paul built last autum...also got a Chinimea...3 Yankee Candles and a Bin Bag thingy for the weeds....
Oh and by the way the table is finished but it's still in the dining room (relagated to the floor now though) He has set the tiles on the top and grouted them in but it has to have 2 weeks to be water tight

I'm in the same gardening class as you pam
but I think they like acidic soil....so you need the right compost to plant them in..... good luck
