lixy
^You’re probably over watering your lavender lixy, it’s a Mediterranean plant so it’s heat and drought resistant, as are lots of herbs. I don’t water mine, and they look fine.^
Thank you, maybe so, but I don't think so. The pots are made of stone and get hot to the touch, hence my thesis that the roots just got too hot.
I'm planning on moving the lavenders into the garden border to see how they do there, but they'll need a lot of grit as we have clay soil here!
Don't you love gardening - always a logistical challenge! So, to go back to the OP, yes, lots of work with pencil and paper over the next few months.
Love the Dorset jungle!
You’re so right, it’s a logistical challenge, I keep wandering outside thinking of plans to change everything round, replant, increase butts and where to put them for maximum ease of use, etc., it’s just too hot to actually do anything.
I just took a picture of one of my gourds, and on reflection I don’t think I can give them up even though they do take a can of water each every day - I think we all have favourites, and they are my babies, I love them!
