#pruning azalea

What wonderful vibrant colors the Azalea are this time of year!  They are the sure sign that summer is right around the corner.  Begin pruning them as soon as they are finished blooming.  First, look to see if their current size is still good for the space.  You can begin cutting it back to the desired size (no more than 30%), and then you can do some interior pruning for health, youth and vibrancy of the plant.  Happy pruning!

This month I am trying out Thumbtack to see who needs gardeners.  Do you use Thumbtack?  We will try it and see what happens!
