My Lilac is on the "OLD" side---last year it had only 3 blooms.
It is such a pretty lilac--a french-double purple/blue. It needs more sun--I know that,
but there is nothing I can do about that.

I have been trying to cull out the really old canes--but the new growth is SOOO slow...
I am sad about it not blooming--in its hay day, it was covered with beautiful,
large clusters...
Again--it is near my maple....it is smack against the 6' fence my neighbor put up...
and is shaded by the trees.

Could I feed it something??? What?

Just reminiscing here......
