We hope no one was injured in the accident along Beulah Road yesterday, and we are very relieved that the car didn't crash into our Blackridge neighbor's home--it came pretty close, it looks like. We'll be heading to the Churchill Police Dept once again to pick up a copy of the report so that we can begin the process of seeking an insurance payment for the destruction of the upper side of the Forest Drive corners. Sigh. Question: My 'Wine and Roses' weigela is looking particularly sparse and spindly this spring. Last year it was full/dense and lush! Is it because I do not prune or the unusually frosty spring or a combo of both???? What to do????

Weigela is a spring bloomer, and blooms on old wood, so it should be pruned immediately after blooming (late spring). You can choose to lightly or heavily prune, and the weigela will recover nicely in either case, although heavy pruning will, of course, result in a smaller shrub for the following growing season. Some points to remember in pruning are:
