Prune azaleas after they flower.
Be sure to visit McCrillis Gardens in Bethesda – very near American Plant at the Beltway. You can picnic there and take your dog on a leash.
Make your own hummer food – don’t poison them with the red dyed stuff. One cup sugar, 4 cups water – boil for a few mins and store unused portion in regrigeratr until needed.
Don’t blow all debris out of your gardens – leave a little bit of stuff for nesting birds
I think that picture labeled as a witch hazel might just be a quince.
Thanks for this list, it is good to have a local one.

This is a wonderful resource. I love that it is local as can be.
Thanks!
You’re right, D’Anna, thank you. I’ll point it out to our webmaster! It is a Quince…probably Texas Scarlet or something similar.
