    When to Cut Back Semi-Neglected Lavender and Santolina

    Yes a few years ago we visited a garden in Suffolk. They had a border with some very old Lavenders which still looked fine. They said they cut back hard in February-March each year.

    seed potatoes with long shoots

    You can leave them in a cool light space for a while if you're not ready to plant out yet. The shoots will green up and strengthen a bit. Plant carefully as already said.

    is there a reason why my Gaultheria Procumbens keeps getting dug up

    I'd agree with both @NijelJ and @pete . One other thing is to consider what wildlife you are aware of in your area - have you spoken to neighbours to see if they have encountered similar problems...

    Terrace in the Mediterranean

    Definitely we will repeat with the 'Orange Emperor' tulips next year, we loved their color on our terrace so much!! Perhaps we'll plant more, given the result.
