Broad Leafed Evergreens - Rhododendrons & Azaleas
If the Rhododendron is King of the broad-leafed evergreens, then the Azalea is Queen. While I do have something blooming all season, there is nothing like the concentrated flower-power of the "Rhodies" and Azaleas in May. Actually, both are Rhododendrons and members of the ericaceae family like heaths and heathers.

Our very own little patch
The ground on the south side of the house rises towards the next door neighbour's fence. The ground is gravel and we have planted trees and shrubs there. There is a circular drive pasing through this section. The whole of the block is a half acre in size and looks completely different from when we moved in some years ago. I guess we are now looking at the possibility of making it into a completely water - saving, ecologically sound piece of garden. In the winter, which is now upon us, the tendency is go forget about water saving ideas. However, in the summer, which can be really hot and dry, we always wish we had planted more natives whicxh don't require as much water as other types of plant. There are plenty of spaces left, and we never seem to run out out of ideas for replacing plants, or filling up spaces with new plants which we see, either on a visit to a garden centre, or in some friends' gardes. end John A Bottomley Copyright June 1998 approx 700 words.

Spring - Beauty and Beast - Part 1, Beauty
Spring is my favorite time of year - no question about it - but it's also the most frenzied time of year in my USDA zone 7 garden.
