Lavender..

Looking good! Mine is dying i think!

I havent trimmed mine yet, 'cause it's still going strong...

What makes you think that,Pixi? they are usually as tough as old boots..
Both mine have done well too,Moti,but as the flowers were fading,,well..I am a devil with the secateurs! Lol.

oh should I trim it?

Yes,Pixi..or else it will start looking leggy and woody..you need to trim off all the dead or faded flowers,just going down a bit further into new growth..don't go as far as the woody bits,as they will die off,as they won't regenerate..If it has got too leggy,see if you can take some cuttings off it,as they are quite easy..

ooh ok!!!!!! ty x

I wish we had scratch'n sniff screens! ... :o)

Wouldn't that be good,Shirley..? Well,for most flowers anyway..don't fancy the Curry plant !Lol

Or that awful Achillea I keep complaining about! ... It will have to go to the brown bin soon . . . . .

Oh the one I don't mind the smell of ?..I think our sense of smell must work like our tastebuds do..not all of us like the same thing.. I have often wondered about that,regarding food..that one person loves something like curry..and I would almost rather starve,than eat it ! and like you with tea..I love a cuppa..:o)

I got fairly close to it when I was thinning out some Forget-me-nots yesterday .. the foliage is so strong ( at least it is to my nose!) that I had to move away from it for a while! ... Have you sniffed those Glad. Murielae yet? . . . . .

Nope..in a word :o)Will try and remember tomorrow..as only one flower left !

Run, Sandra ... lol! . . . . .

I didn't run,Shirley..just sort of ambled !.I think I was too late..as all the scent has gone..blown away with all this wind and rain..I will make a note in my diary..must sniff at the Glads ..(next year) ! :o)

Make sure you do, Sandra! ... :o)

Lol..remind me next August please .:o)))

Pencilled in my diary already ... :o)

Have you bought one for next year already? :o))) so you are the one who is buying early !! Lol.

No, no, no ... my current diary has pages for reminders for 2012 ... I am a very late shopper for you know what presents! ... :o)

of course Shirley..I didn't think of that ! ..so has mine..good thinking .:o))

: o )))

Lavender looks good Bloomer. They have done well this year. I have had loads of flowerheads and they are still coming, but will have to trim them perhaps next week. I am thinning out the flowerbeds as some of the annuals are coming to an end now and it's only 5 degrees outside. The early mornings are getting colder and the condensation on the windows is beginning to show. Dehumindifier comes to mind!!!!

It isn't as cold here as yet,and no condensation ..hope most things go on a bit longer :o).Some things are flowering which shouldn't be..very odd but welcome :o)
