It is time to start gardening! Actually, it's past time, but the snow finally melted so today was the day and the project was the lavender hedge. As you can see, they look pretty bad. But it's still very early spring and they've been covered with snow for weeks.
I pruned them into a nice shape to promote growth at the bottom of the stems and to continue the idea of a hedge. It's best to prune now so that you don't hinder new spring growth. These plants have been in the garden for one year, so I can be a little tough with them. If you have older plants and haven't pruned them, you need to start slow and prune in stages.
The sun and the scent were wonderful. I'm so sick of snow.
