Boxwood Bush

I planted dwarf Wintergreen boxwoods two months ago. They look healthy and I am working hard to keep them watered. Yesterday, beside one of the four bushes was a pile of a yellow powder near the base of the bush. It looked like pollen. This morning that pile of yellow had grown and gotten thick and sticky. What is this? Is this normal? It is pollen or some kind of disease/fungus?

It sounds like you have a slime mold, which is on decaying parts of the plant or possibly any mulch you may have around it. Clean it off and treat the plant with fungicide.
