Can you plant lavender where you have just dug the old ones out ??
Asking as we have one which is not doing well and I would like to replace it.
Yes, we've taken out an old lavender hedge and put a new one in at exactly the same spot.

There are some plants which shouldn't be replanted in the same spot, clematis for example, but this is to do with disease not fussiness.

If one clematis died of clematis wilt it's likely the replacement would as well.

Mine is 65" (thats the tv) but the lounge is 18' long so will take it.
I don't think we imagined it could be anything else.

Well morning all. Note I have left out "good." Yesterday I had to abandon ride plans as the ferry times didn't work. Today the last ferry is 12.45, 1½ hours later. That works. Excellent.

Woke at 3.00am. Couldn't sleep. Got up at 5.45 to make an early start after preparing tea - black bean chilli. All done, breakfasted, sandwiches made, just need to put kit on. Went upstairs at 7.30 and realised I'm too nackered to ride.

Back to bed I think.

Morning all.
Like Mo I slept in......but till 0630 (sorry Mo).
No idea why I upchucked yesterday as we ate the same food. Felt a bit yucky this morning but think I am over it (whatever it was).
BTW... I mentioned yesterday that we were having scones with jam and cream ( or should that be cream and jam). They were awful !!!!
I was in the Co-op and spotted these "luxury scones"........ they were really dry and just broke up, impossible to put jam/cream on as they fell apart.

miserable outside so will do a bit on the treadmill , stay safe !
I've been looking at them online, but not sure I would use one enough to justify the cost. The last one I bought many years ago was used a few times and sold.

Nice brisk walk done. It's overcast but warm enough when you're striding out.

Whereabouts do you do most of your riding ? Looking at the map there don’t seem to be many options around Brora itself ?
