Fall Lavender


I had dreams of a prolific lavender hedge winding its way around our patio---when we happened to brush against it, wafts of sweet scented lavender would assail us. Being conservative, I thought it best to try out some lavender in this spot before investing in 20 seedlings. I carefully and protectively planted 3 at the end of April. I watered, I fertilized, I limed, I cajoled--no lavender in May... June...July...August. Finally,in September my dreams were realized. And it continues through October.

Lovely! Why don't you use some of it to make some of those gorgeous lavender "wands" for your friends?!!
