Re: Cuttings

Hi Nan,
Leave the plant where it is, and be prepared to give it a few months
according to Geoff. I have tried this very successfully with thyme, merely
an extension of the naturally occurring layrs one gets ocasionally with
thyme anyway. Thought lavenders might be too leggy, but Michael Campbell of
suite 101 assures me they will do fine.
