Title: Lavender ............
Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 04 July 2011, 13:19:04

Have got Lavender in the garden. Any hints/advice on thinning it out as it seems to be rapidly expanding sideways.
 
Thanks

Tie it into little bunches and sell it down the high street...  :) :)

The pikey van owners on here will buy it off you along with any old pegs you have to sell on to others.

Get your neighbours to all park their cars over the the drain covers before you invite them round, though. ;)

I must admit that I was half expecting these kind of answers guys! I'll ask down the local garden centre .......

Have we got any keen gardeners on OOF?

I believe you should thin it out before it flowers. Will ask SWMBO later.  :y

As a seasoned pikey I take umbridge to your ignorance   ;D ;D ;D  We sell Heather man, Heather.  ;D ;D

(I'm told you can put Lavender in your drawers,  :-/ :-/ Thought it would make you itch personally)  ;D ;D

EDIT:
My goodness, I just found myself watching a Lavender pruning video.  ;D ;D

Mine is growing nicely this year, which I will take to mean it will survive untold abuse and neglect. ;D

IIRC the green fingered one (my mum) told me to cut it late in the summer so it's got time to recover before winter, and again in spring if required. Can't remember when I actually got round to it but it doesn't appear to have mattered. ;D
