ok. I wasn't going to post this one, because i had surgery in in early fall and didn't get around to cutting stuff back. But it's the best views of the Forest Pansy twins as i call them. I also don't like it because my lavender hedge has taken a beating. Spring before last the back 5 or 6 feet of the bank fell down the river bank taking with it 6 of the lavenders (along with some other plants at the back of the jungle) then this last summer they seem to have come down with a fungus, either that or their roots have been disturbed by the shift in ground as well. So they have been wacked at, but not all at once to hopefully lessen the shock. Ugh... my babies. :-( the good news is that most of them are growing this spring. And now it's supposed to snow again here in two days. It's going to freeze so much new growth! Just like it did two weeks ago when we had record snow and cold (for that date) we warmed up to 85 last weekend and now they are saying record snow and cold again. :-( :-( Guess i really don't need to wonder why the lavender are sick!
