First, my jasmine vine: It's just gorgeous, full and lush in a pot on my front porch, but I know I need to cut it back before bringing it back into my sunroom. Should I try to unwind it--which seems impossible--or just start cutting it at the top and go down about halfway?

Second, my autumn clematis: It's about 2 years old and climbing happily up strings on the side of our shed, which is in partial shade. It does put out a few flowers on the top but it's not as floriferous as I know it should be for its size. Could it need more sun? Should I give it another year to produce? Should I dig it up this fall and transplant it to another sunnier spot?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
