great tips Monty, had wonderful lavender last year, lovely in cakes and cookies, put some in your pocket when you go out and every now and then you can touch the Lavender to create a lovely sent in the air. and of great benefit placed under your pillow at night, great stuff.

That'll be why I struggle with lavender - my garden soil is clay-based. Drainage is obviously the key!

Good video but too short and it is not clear when is the best time to plant and hard prune, as he just says "now".

Very useful - but how annoying that the camera is more on Monty rather than what he's doing. I'd have liked to see him trimming the plants in more detail.

Was over all too quickly, wanted to hear when the best time is to prune back and when they can be moved etc.....how frustrating!
