You should set up a time-lapse video, SB.

Re: The Rhododendron and its magic.
I am hoping if I remember BB,to take a photo daily or every two days and post. I always plot the progress of how the garden performs each year,unfortunately with my PC problem awhile back I lost the last two years of my garden photos.
I would add I can view my garden photos on Flickr,however I have not been able to download them to my PC.

Re: The Rhododendron and its magic.
You are always way ahead of us FC,no sign of ours as yet,I suppose I shall soon be accused of digging them up again by SWMBO once again - as I do every year, then they suddenly appear much to my relief.

Re: The Rhododendron and its magic.
I think it's a sign of the seasons coming earlier FC. I have noticed it with many things over the past 30 to 40 years Blossom now appears much earlier than it used to all those years ago.

Re: The Rhododendron and its magic.
I think you posted a photo earlier FC of your Lilies of the Valley,you had some lovely ones last year. I was in the garden this afternoon looking for ours which seem to be way behind yours and I still cannot see any signs of them emerging from the soil. I suppose SWMBO will be getting onto me again if they soon do not make an appearance.funkychick wrote:I always think of rhods as May/June not April/may or am I worng

Do what I do SB and tell her that if she can do any better then to get out there and do it herself.Suffolkboy wrote: I suppose SWMBO will be getting onto me again if they soon do not make an appearance.
Unfortunately my wife can't do any better because of her condition but sure wishes she could get out there and do it. Seriously though, I don't tell her that anymore because it causes upsets.
