Q: I’m so disappointed and very sad! Last year I planted several crepe myrtle plants in my backyard. Now, my neighbor's lilacs and forsythia, and a shrub she calls flowering quince, are in full bloom and my crepe myrtles look like dead sticks! Is there something I didn't do for them and now they are dead? Suggestions on what to replace them with? Help! — A.C., Bernalillo
