[Herbalist] Gerita's Garden Report

[Joan Nicholson]

Hi Gerita;

I lurk a lot too. 8^)  I live in New Mexico and have found that my lavender
does best in the local nasty alkiline soil.  Apparently, it doesn't like
rich soil, mulch, compost or pampering.  As I kill most things regularly,
except cactus and African Violets (go figure!), I was pleased to discover
this.

Good luck...

Hello, all,

I'm relatively new here, and have been lurking for a few weeks to boot.
The garden reports have spurred me to thinking, and as usual, questions
come from that.

I currently have: <snip>

English Lavender:  also in a huge pot, in a little more shade than the
Rosemary.  Can't decide whether to live or die.  I really want this
unruly little guy to survive.  Is there something I should be doing?
