A Goner or a Survivor???

Greetings all you lavendeers!  The plants are pruned and I'm looking forward to a wonderful summer harvest.  Didn't buy any new lavender plants this year because I have no place to plant them (Con threatens to fence in the front yard to keep me and my spade out).  The ones I have are actually quite enough to keep me busy all summer. 

I'm one of those women who likes to move the furniture around and create new looks.  But I've taken that skill (it is not an obsession, regardless of what some people say) to the yard.  I like to move plants if they are looking a little weary.  What I have found - actually something we all know -- is that lavender must have a lot of direct sun each day.  This poor little guy, for instance, looks pretty sad because while small it seemed to be far enough away from a tall evergreen to get full sun.  But as it grew larger (and the evergreen spread a bit more) it fell into a shadow for much of the day.  So I moved it last week to a sunnier spot.  It looks pretty sad but I think it will be ok.  You can see the green on the tips.  I'll keep you posted.
