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?

Yes, although being gardening all things are possible!

Janet,

Now is about the right time, apparently

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

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: funny you should say that. I garden on sand and, when I cut one back this morning, there were some babies growing underneath.

Janet, when I pruned my lavenders, severely, they didn't shoot again.
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.

Not funny at all - lavender is a poor soil shrub.

Babies normally grow under gooseberry bushes.

Discuss.

If you have a dead donkey any hole will do.

I thought Rusty advocated a dead donkey for rhubarb, others prefer custard.

Sheesh, a dead donkey, in France, on chalkiest soil, is that they do
when planting vines, duh Martin, I know my vines, I grew one in
England. In a greenhouse Balck Hamburg, I think, anyway, if you want
good grapes anything dead in a trench will produce good grapes, innit.

Our best vine grew where the builders had dumped some plaster. It
reached the
eves before a gale brought it down. It is 34 years old and has
survived several
very cold winters. I had it growing in a box on a third floor balcony when I
first bought it. It started life in the monastery at Maria Lach in Germany.

My best vine is doing its best to strangle the house...
