    @Steve-Miller grrr. No deer here, but rabbits sheared all the leaves off my new serviceberry before I even got it planted. I put a hardware tube around it and it has recovered nicely, so I think it is safe to plant this weekend.

    In the meantime, I got my first daylily bloom of the year today. This also came from lilylady. It's called 'Mustard and Relish', and it is the tallest of my three varieties (all from her gardens).

    They love serviceberry bushes. I have one in a side yard that I finally cordoned off so that no wascally wabbits could get in. I have raspberry bushes in there, a rose, and a bunch of coral bells. All things they love to eat.

    The raspberry canes are the real puzzler. If I don't protect the bushes the rabbits will eat all the canes down to the ground during the winter. Those canes have little prickly thornettes that are a real nuisance. I cannot imagine how they can chew up the canes and swallow them. But they do.

      My black raspberries are in the back yard where the dogs hang out, so the rabbits don't bother them there. Honestly, they are out of control and need a good pruning.

            Lavender can be a rather dull plant to photograph.
            I reckon you need a significant clump or two and ideally warm sunlight to enhance the colour.

                      @AndyD significant clumps, I have. 馃槈 When they finish blooming I'm going to prune them severely as I have never done that and they are monstrous and leggy.

                        There are lots of videos on pruning lavender. I kinda like this one:

                              @rustyfingers Yea, I never knew they needed regular pruning to keep them in top form. I just have a couple of them in pots and am trying to follow her instructions. They鈥檙e doing pretty well.
