Any Gardeners?
What are we supposed to be doing this time of year????
I get so confused RE: pruning! I have a lilac and both spring-flowering and summer flowering clemati and I'm not sure if I missed the pruning time, or if I shouldn't prune at all!
Help!

Re: Any Gardeners?
DON'T PRUNE YOUR LILAC NOW!!
I made that mistake one year. Lilacs bloom on second year wood, so if you prune incorrectly, you'll have no blooms this year.
Wait until just after blooming to prune. You could totally mangle it and it would still come back, but if you do an internet search, there are some good tutorials out there on how to prune it.
