Well i hanged some trellis and seeing we are getting a garden shed i needed to free up a corner of the garden to accommodate this. This meant digging up plant and relocating them. Well all started well and i managed to finish the task almost but my lemon smelling plant is dying on me and i killed it by digging it up, i feel so sad this was my success story from 4yrs ago and now it looks so sad. I hurt it i am sure i did.
Please someone advice me what i can do to save this blessing? I am a very sad Rainbow at the moment.
This is the plant in question

oh your poor plants, the look like they are getting way to much water, like drowning.
When the leaf of a plant has the scent, its a general rule that they like drier conditions. Here in Oklahoma, I spread a layer of Sand under the plant which reflects the sun and keeps the base of the plant and under-leaves drrier. That way I can grow lavender here.
Hope this might help a bit
Yes exactly my poor plants i feel so guilty having up-rooted them and moved them now.
You are right my lawn is always water logged Barbara its like it does not soak up, when i was digging i hit rubble quickly , looks like the builders threw a lot of rubble when building this place and covered it with a thin layer of soil and a some grass to hide it all. Now it expalins why i never succed with Lavender :( In the pictures it had been raining all weekend so that may add to it and scince i moved the plants, the sun has not been out, so i wait and pray...lets see what unfolds.
