Peggy, it sounds like you are on the verge of starting a Lavender patch. I have had Lavender in my gardens 4 different times and different varieties, and I loved it, and it was big and beautiful. All I did was give it a top dressing of compost in spring and I had to put wood ashes around it because we had clay soil.
