  • Gardening with Tim

    Hello there again.  I've had a few questions sent to me, so I thought I would address them first:

    When do you prune a snowball bush?  Personally, I would probably let it grow all it wanted to, but if space is a problem, you can prune it back after it blooms. 

    When do I cut my butterfly bush back?  Go ahead and cut it back to the ground and it will come back.

    When do I prune my crepe myrtles?  Now is the time to do that if you haven't already.
