Hi folks, not been around for a while, just been looking at my potted plants in the yard and noticed my lavender plant which are in pots are turning yellow, cant find any bugs on them, could it be all the rain we are having, i dont want to loose them, until now they have come on in leaps and bounds.

If they are in pots they might need feeding - if you haven't been feeding them, that is. Yellow leaves is often mineral deficiency of one sort or another, particularly in pots where the little blighters can run out of grub!

Are the pots big enough? If they have got 6" of growth, or so, I reckon 5"-6" pots - my little chaps have flower spikes on many of the plants.

Touch the compost is it wet or dry?

Lavender likes to be on the dry side.
Tip the root ball out and check for vine weevil grubs. Pesky little b&ggars.
