Lat year I uprooted a pieris, (forest flame?), it's about 3.5 feet high, and put it over the side of the garden - this spring seems to have been very good for pieris, every plant I've seen has had beautiful colours - mine hasn't produced any leaves, (well, only a few on the ends of some of the twigs) and only got some colour a couple of weeks ago - what shall I do - will it get better next spring - or shall I dig it up ? it's a bit of an eyesore at the moment.

Give it a chance! You gave it a bit of a shock last year and it needs
time to recover. It still seems to be hanging in there, so you should
see an improvement next year. Put a potful of brightly coloured annuals
in front to screen it ;-)

Yes indeed - only thing I'm puzzled about is I don't recognise that url
for E's earthworm page - it works, though! So where the heck did it come
from?
