Hi, Could anyone help me out please? Two years ago I bought a beautiful Azalea
the new variety which can flourish in any soil,since then it's not flowered, but seems to be stuck at the budding stage
I also have gardening flood problem and don't know if it's have something to do with that. Having a greenhouse is not in my budget, I heard about http://www.stormtec.net/ do you think that can help me ?

What exactly do you mean by a graden flood problem? Do the gardens flood when it rains? That would be some very poor drainage issues that may or may not be easy and inexpensive to fix.
Try building raised beds- that way the water has somewhere for it go.
As for the azalea- If it's in standing water that would definitely affect it's ability to bloom, and grow at all for that matter!
Also, they like acidic soil, so have your soil tested to see how acidic or alkaline it is.
Hope that helps

Rachel, I live at the bottom of two hill's. I don't only get my rain, I also get it from both hills. I cannot grow anything in the ground, because it's allway's sodden, when iit's been raining. So everything is in pot's, exept an azalia, what's in a raised bed. It's slowly taking over the garden. I will put a pic in, but it's gone off now, so there hardly any flowers on. This is one in the front garden, which only get's sodden on the top of the garden.
