Have you ever wondered why some azaleas are covered in blooms while others seem to put on a much quieter show?

The answer often starts with how they're pruned.

In this video, Joel demonstrates selective hand pruning, a technique that removes long stems while preserving the plant's natural shape. Unlike shearing, this approach encourages healthier growth, better structure, and stronger flowering potential.

One interesting fact about azaleas: some varieties naturally produce single blooms, while others produce double blooms, creating very different displays in the landscape.

Timing matters too. Most azaleas should be pruned shortly after they finish flowering so next year's flower buds aren't removed.

Healthy plants also need proper nutrition. We fertilize our azaleas with HollyTone, an organic fertilizer in both spring and fall to support vigorous growth and beautiful blooms.

Do you prefer a naturally shaped azalea or a tightly sheared hedge?

These are leaf-footed bug nymphs, very likely a Leptoglossus species. Their bright orange and red bodies, long black legs and antennae, and tendency to gather on developing fruit are characteristic of immature leaf-footed bugs.
And in this case, they are detrimental, not beneficial. Leaf-footed bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts and feed by puncturing developing fruits and seeds. When you see this many nymphs gathered on one fruit, it’s a good idea to intervene.
For a home vegetable garden, Suzanne recommends starting with a simple approach rather than reaching for a broad-spectrum insecticide. Put on gloves and knock or brush the bugs into a container of soapy water. Then inspect the fruit, vines, stems, and especially the undersides of nearby leaves for additional nymphs and egg clusters.
The pale scarring and white spots on the fruit can also be a sign of injury, and a good thing to watch for in your garden!
Have you spotted leaf-footed bug nymphs on your cucumbers or other garden plants this season?

Still waiting for your tomatoes to take off?
The secret isn't what you do later. It's how you plant them.

Mulch gets messy. Grass creeps in. Weeds follow.

That’s why we install steel edging with a portion buried below grade and a clean reveal above ground. It creates a crisp separation between turf and planting beds while reducing ongoing maintenance.

The difference is subtle from the street, but it completely changes how a landscape looks and performs.

Would you add this to your landscape?

Save this for your next project and share it with someone who is tired of fighting grass in their beds.

The difference is in the details.
Here's the finished cobblestone edge from Part 1. Beyond giving the landscape a clean, timeless look, this edge serves an important purpose by helping prevent grass from creeping into the planting beds over time. A well-defined border means less maintenance, cleaner bed lines, and a landscape that stays looking sharp season after season.
What do you think of the finished result?

Have you ever spent hours cleaning up landscape beds, only to have grass creep right back in?
One of the most effective ways to create a long-term barrier between your lawn and planting beds is with a properly installed cobblestone Belgian block edge. It helps keep the lines clean, reduces ongoing maintenance, and adds a timeless look that only gets better with age.
This is Part 1 of the process. The finished result in Part 2 completely transforms the edge and shows why taking the time to do it right matters.
