Gardeners World Lavender Potted Outside

STeve @ 4:44 pm

I have been meaning to pot these outside for weeks now, each morning they were looking a little worse from the day before.  Since coming via the post they have been in small pots on the window sill.   It really wasn’t a nice day to be doing this, rain and wind and cold - so we did it quickly in a couple of big pots that we got from freecycle a couple of months before.   This won’t be their final destination, but they should like it outside in a bigger pot for a while.    We added a lot of old shingle from the driveway which over the months/years of it sitting in a bag has mixed with soil and now is quite a nice free draining base for these plants.
