Moving Day for the Azalea

When we bought this property there were very few plantings. These two azaleas are in the front yard and both will eventually be moved. I think they are cora bells but time will tell. If they are they will match the ones we put in the front flower bed. Mr P and I woke up to a cloudy drizzly day so it was perfect!

 

It took a LOT of work, more than I expected. We finally discovered the root we were battling belonged to the oak tree and not the azalea. We were finally able to get it in the wheelbarrow. The bush measured 4 feet wide.

 

 

 

 

It's new home is at the left corner of the house. I had prepared the hole but the rootball was kind of lopsided so it was a pain the get back in the ground but we finally got it done. Can wait to see it bloom in the spring.

 

 

 

Well there ya go! Now I need to finish this bed.
