My one was the only one that grew out of the many seeds. It's still going strong, only one thing about it that bothers me though, it's facing the wrong way......towards the neighbours......and the sun is in the opposite direction

Re: started putting garden to bed
My garden was a disaster this year-my heart was just not in it. Next year though?. I knew it was love when Linda was over for the day to help me do some weeding,and told me she was a florist for 15 years back when her children were growing up.

Re: started putting garden to bed
I am so relived
I though I had killed off the lavender bed by cutting it back too far 
I am happy to say it is sprouting in spite of the close shave . Before Plantman tells me off, I know the best time to do anything other than tidying up the flowering stalks is really the spring but I was in the mood for chopping things off and did it anyway
.Now I have to wait and see if the new growth survives a hard winter .
