Jamie,
Just remember that *at least a wild lilac* lives
out doors and can survive in the crappiest kinds of soil/dirt... and some plants can be killed
with kindness...

And Miracle Soil is usually filled with a Nitrogen based ingredients... and can promote green lush growth on the top..

What you want to do for the lilac bush is to
promote it's rooting abilities..
*under growth, not upwards growth*

So, I might, leave out the Miracle Grow and just do regular soil... maybe if you feel the need to feed it or be extra good to it, some compost.. but about 25% to 75% soil, like the soil it is growing from, her lawn area....

oh ok thanks a bunch weezie!! now if only spring would hurry up and come!!! Come on spring!

So i do have a few seeds. Should I put them in dirt yet? or leave them until spring. I'm not sure what I should do? Also, should I soak them at all?

Thanks!!

Since they need their chilling period, I would put them in a pot outside and hope they come up in the spring.
