What a pleasant day of total garden indulgence for me.

coleup "With your azalea (full of good advice as I am) I would dig up, examine roots, etc, and then pot it up with lovely fresh mix and some "mike" (microrhizia) to encourage a revival to former glory....Maybe this azalea could live for a year or two in a shallower pot that woud be hidden by that vinca major and give some height and contrast there with out being strong enough or having to compete with conditions and plants there????"

MMM, well, I picked a good shaded spot rather than my first thought which looked more sunny than I was thinking. Moved a knockut rose and a hearts a burstin into the sunny spot. we'll see.

Then planted my variegated brug (Gita's Maya/ peaches and cream/ whatever) in the first azalea spot. Yes I know, frost chance, the thing has been outside for 2 weeks already anyway. seems happy.
