  Hello folks --
Thanks for the lawn advice -- I'm still mulling it over.  

Meanwhile, we are thinking of moving to LA in a year, and I am taking
cuttings of favorite plants just in case.  My collection of artemisias are
looking forward to it!  I'm wondering about lavenders, though.  Do they do
well there?   I particularly wonder about L. dentata.  Mine here in Oregon
wilts when dry, but it had a traumatic (root bound) childhood <g>. 

I've heard that when grown from seed, they make a tap root.  I know from
experience that they are slow from seed -- is it worth it?  I'd appreciate
all advice, experience.

  From the wetlands...
