Transplanting lavenders
I've decided that several lavenders in the parterre are getting too big and leggy and want to dig them out and move younger, smaller specimens from other parts of the garden to replace them. Is it too late for this year?

The message
from Janet Conroy contains these words: 'Emrys Davies[_2_ Wrote: ;821445']"Janet Conroy" wrote in message ...- I've decided that several lavenders in the parterre are getting too- big- and leggy and want to dig them out and move younger, smaller specimens from other parts of the garden to replace them. Is it too late for this year? Now is about the right time, apparently http://tinyurl.com/693mn4 Thanks to you both. Given that the likely transplants are freebies inherited when we moved here in March 2007, I'll give it a go. You might think of stripping some seeds from spikes and laying them on a bed of poor sandy soil, then covering them with very small pea shingle. Keep moist but not wet. You'll have a forest of them. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

I garden on sand and, when I cut one back this morning, there were some babies growing underneath. Not funny at all - lavender is a poor soil shrub. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

I find that in my garden in France, quite sandy in places and clay in others, that in the sandy part, the lavenders have self seeded and I have many new plants. Judith |
