Bare is best when placing a baby to sleep in a crib. By creating the toughest crib safety standards in the world and urging parents to keep pillows, quilts, heavy blankets, and sleep positioners out of the crib, CPSC has made great strides to ensure that babies and toddlers have a safe sleep.
Dexter Estate photo. In the Philadelphia and New York City areas, our best rhododendrons bloom from mid-May to June first or even through the first week in June. We do have R. mucronulatum, and a few of its varieties and hybrids, in late March and early April, and we do have R. maximum in late June and early July.
During the first spring, fertilize your azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons just as the buds start to pop some color. Fertilize again, if needed, lightly in late summer but no later than 2 months prior to the first frost in your area. Late feeding could encourage new growth that might be damaged by a freeze.
