New azalea

Such a beautiful colour. I am hoping it grows well.

I don't really like the open 'vase'-ey shape but that has been done as it is supposed to allow the air to pass through the leaves and repel diseases. I hope they thicken up in the pots, and then I can put them in bigger ones, barrels maybe.

1 Oct 2019 - They appear to be doing well, with loads of new shoots. I want them to bush out a lot more.

12 July 2020 -

I had previously put them into larger pots, and as winter came, I perhaps was watering them a little too much. All the leaves fell off, and I thought I may have killed them.

However, I noticed some shoots a few days ago, and lo! - today they are looking good again. I am considering putting these trees in the ground but will wait until the shed is in place before deciding on a location.

New min-a-mins + updates

So I can get them growing into balls on top of the pots.

French beans

Bpought this punnet a weekend or two ago and finally planted them yesterday (monday morning). I put three in two garden beds, to see whether the soil makes a difference between their growth.

They look like they might be ok, eventually.

15 Oct 2019 - These seem to be particularly slow growing, but there ARE baby beans on the vine!

Ghost chair

I was going to sell this, but I can't. It's too nice. I still don't know where to put it for best effect though. Maybe I can find a spot in the lounge.
