Please help! I'd love suggestions on what I can do to spruce up the front of the house. I'm thinking of transplanting the azalea bushes to the backyard, under a tree. (They are the small bushes under the window on the left side of the pic.) The house faces east but gets a bit of shade from the tree in the front yard. Everything in the bed is deprived of nutrients and/or diseased. I know I need to work the soil and fertilize it, but what should I put in once the hard part is done? I would really appreciate any tips!
