Trimming the Rhodies

The rhododendrons bloom a bright red in June.  My neighbor has often commented on how nice they look at the peak of their season.  As often as not, I miss the bloom because of festival travel.  This year was a miss. Sandi and I talked about trimming the rhododendrons after they finished blooming this month.  Last Saturday afforded both beautiful weather and a free afternoon.  With a few tools I took to dead-heading and trimming the rhodies.

 

 

Ahhhh.  Much better.
