They have struggled in pots and other locations for a long time, and I hoped they would fare better here.
I added loads of coffee grounds from the cafe at school, as apparently they like an acid environment. I hoped the extra space for their roots to grow would help them flourish. And then I waited.
We have had some rain recently, and this morning I noticed with joy that the white ones are coming out in lovely blooms! Well, one so far. I love the slightly pink colour, 'just blush', with a wee red streak.
10 June 2019 - I have never seen the azaleas standing up so well, nor looking as if they are about to take off before. Today, they are looking great! I 'slimed' the beds yesterday evening - I added seasol in watering cans of water. I hope it does something good!

12 July 2019 - Look how she has picked up in the last few days! Me so happy!
White 2
The actual red/dark pink azalea is still somewhat 'iffy' - maybe it will come good in time.
12 July 2019: she is standing, and opening up much better today.
15 July 2019 - White 2 - Best I've seen it looking!
