Denver: Our lavender is growing like weeds and taking over our
planter beds here. I'd like to transplant SOME if it all over the
yard and let it take over some other areas instead. How hard is it to
transplant? Can I just stick a shovel in it and dig some up to
transplant?




The reason that I asked this, is not that I have a hard time transplanting
things, but with this lavender, I tried digging into a huge bed of it with
my big shovel and it won't even cut the stuff. How can I dig some of it up
to transplant then?
