Caution, this post is only for gardening geeks. Feel free to disregard if it's not your thing. But, I've come to realize that one of my passions is gardening, the way other people are passionate about cooking (Mary Beth:)) or other hobbies. Our gardens are not yet rivaling our gardens at our last home, and Michael & I were talking about this very thing the other night. "A lot changes after you have kids," he said. Yes, I know that's true. But Noah is at the point where he is doing a lot better outside so we're doing as much outside as we can. I wanted to have an idea of how many azaleas we have & what kind. Every now & then, you'll lose a plant for whatever reason, and if you don't know what kind it is, and how well it performs, you'll be out of luck when you tell the nurseryman, "It was a pink azaela." There's hundreds of pink azaelas!
So, here they are as of today: Total azaelas= 105.
Island Bed out Front- Encore Azaela Autumn Debutante=7
Raised Stone Bed in Front- Encore Azaela Autumn Empress=24- best performer- (froze & lost all their leaves this harsh winter but 95% bounced back after being completely barren!)
Side Front Yard- Pink Formosas=9
Bed by air conditioner-Encore Azaela Autumn Carnation=7 (doing awesome!)
Backyard beds by house- Pink Ruffles=20
Backyard Fence Pink Formosas=15
Back Corner Bed by Hammock -Encore Azaela Autumn Belle=8 (didn't do well by pool but bounced back in corner bed)
Perennial Bed- Encore Azaela Autumn Twist= 5 (poor performance thus far; must fertilize more)
Surrounding Pool- Encore Azaelas Autumn Empress=10 (great performer)
