Peter ....
Thank you so much for the information. I was going to research lavenders this winter. You have given me a head start.
It looks like just setting the plants on top of my clay soil and mounding them with sandy loam was a good way to plant them.
Having these plants to deal with was just one of those unexpected events. Even if these plants don't make it, I will learn something from the experience. I visited a lavender farm down in the valley a couple of years ago and had planned to add lavenders to my garden in the street bed, but just hadn't gotten to that bed just yet.
Your hedge sounds like it will be beautiful.
Re: Snow .... we only get snow at my elevation a few times a season. It just means a few extra chores when it happens. It generally doesn't stick for more than a few days.
Smiles,
Lyn
