Azalea Care Tips
Azalea
Azaleas can be a bit tricky to grow.  I know I have received my fair share of azalea related questions during my years here at Bob's.  This week I turned to The United States National Arboretum website where they have a definitive guide to all things azalea.  Did you know that azaleas belong to the genus Rhododendron?

23rd-24th Cultivate And Spray, But Do No Planting. 
25th-27th Favorable For Planting Crops Bearing Yield Above The Ground.

30th-31st Best Planting Days For Aboveground Crops, Especially Peas, Beans, Cucumbers And Squash, Where Climate Is Suitable. Plant Seedbeds And Flower Gardens.

 

Uncle Jim's Almanac is based on the age-old method of using the moon to determine fertile and barren periods.  It can be used in any region where the climate is suitable for growing.
