Today Jacqueline and I got quite a bit done. We put in our two new 5g camellias, to keep our other camellia company. Three different varieties, but all have white flowers. Lets hope we can keep them alive. We kept the rootball exactly even with the surface, and mixed in some soil condition and composted cow manure. After we watered them, we added some root stimulator. Good luck plants!
We also built a little tent for our poor hydrangeas. Immediately after planting them they started shriveling. Hopefully this will keep the afternoon sun off them, until the trees above start leafing out. We built it out of landscaping weed control fabric, a few of the stakes intended for the fabric, and a couple 1x2's cut like vampire stakes.
We fed all the azaleas, roses, and flowers we have scattered about, as it is the first of the month.
I took a few photos of the blight(s) on the camellia we have. let me know if you can identify this, and propose a solution. Thanks!
