And she's got a huge deer problem there so she's got lots' of 'em growing everywhere. As for me, I'm in blissfully deer-free downtown Rockville, Maryland, and I've got one rather scraggly, pathetic-looking excuse for a pieris that I planted nearly ten years ago...I've moved it several times, thinking it was just unhappy in it's micro-climate and perhaps it needed a change of venue elsewhere in yard, but it continues to look sickly. I haven't the heart to rip it out, though, and in the last two years it's actually grown a smidgen, so it's been given a stay of execution for now.

I lived in Takoma Park before I moved to San Diego in the 1970's. My generous climate makes up for what I lack in gardening skill. I hope you'll share pictures of azaleas when they bloom. I left a few behind and they don't care for my poorly drained soil. Hi, I just found your blog on Transplantable Rose’s link list. I lived in Takoma Park before I moved to San Diego in the 1970’s.
