Hi All

Some advice please.   Should I take off the dead heads from my lilac?  It looks so sad with brown shrivelled flowers after its flowering glory  :tree:

Perfect Bert - thank you very much.  It tells me to remove the dead heads from lilac with secateurs, so that's what I'll be doing tomorrow while I'm waiting for the second day for a parcel delivery  :rant:
