What Is a Hernia? If you noticed a sudden pain in the groin or a sensation as if something had torn, you may be right. A hernia is a weakness or tear in the abdominal muscle wall, which normally holds the inner lining of the abdomen and internal organs in place (i.e. inside, where they belong).
When to Prune Crape Myrtles. The best time to prune crape myrtles is in late winter, before they start growing. Avoid pruning in the fall, since pruning can stimulate the growth of sprouts that may be killed by the coming cold weather.
When to Prune Crepe Myrtle Trees. The best time to prune crepe myrtles depends on where you are growing them. If you live where the trees are reliably hardy, you can prune them any time from late fall through to early spring. If you live where the tree may suffer winter injury due to frost, wait until early spring before trimming crepe myrtles.
