Grow Your Own / Re: Pea Moth
« Last post by Snow on Today at 20:07 »Problem with later sowings is that mildew can badly affect a later crop of peas
I've not had problems with pea moth from sowing early March, but I've not grown a big maincrop pea plant like alderman for a few years. I just sow various sugar snaps and mange tout now, which maybe go to 4ft max so could well be a bit quicker

General Gardening / Re: Lavender
« Last post by Yorkie on Today at 19:38 »My lavenders look a bit like that, because I haven't pruned them as well as I could (I didn't prune them at all some years 
)
You've got a lot of old wood in the middle, as others have said. That is perfectly usual behaviour if the pruning hasn't been quite right. There's no point in pruning back now into the bare old wood, as the plant won't regrow from that old wood.
The others' suggestions are worth a try
