My lavender of about 6 years is gone "all over the place". It smells nice in Summer but the shape doesn't vaguely resemble a circle and there's also tall grass growing up throughit. Is it time to dig it up and replant a new one or is there something I can do to save it?

I planted busy lizzies outside in pots in mid April. The leaves have shrivelled and become discoloured and I fear that frost may have been the cause although I don't remember any frosty nights since planting. I didn't put any fertilizer in the pots,- just used the pots of potting compost which I used last year. If I should have used fertilizer or the like, could you please recommend a product as I am relatively new to gardening and seem to put in an awful lot of effort but don't always get results!

I love hostas but when I plant them they're always eaten by slugs or snails. Any advice, other than slug pellets? Are there any similar plants that don't attract slugs?
