Lavender

Lavender and Alice Hoffman
(Practical Magic )

There's a few things I've learned in life: always throw salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for good luck, and fall in love whenever you can.

From High Country Gardens is Buena Vista English Lavender and Shimmer Evening Primrose. I took this picture to show how deep the pots are from High Country. Plants in deep pots are great to purchase, the roots are more established, which of course makes the plant have a greater chance to establish faster and thrive in your garden. In the background a gift from a friend of mine a football gnome featuring the Indianapolis Colts.

Viola 'Cornuta Purple Showers' that I planted April 13th and already blooming.

Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;The marigold, that goes to bed wi' th' sun,And with him rises weeping; these are flow'rsOf middle summer, and I think they are givenTo men of middle age.

Busy Bees..........




















They love the lavender..........




























These are some cuttings from my Lavender plant that I posted about last month. They look a little droopy in this picture that I took a couple of weeks ago, I moved them to a different location and they seem to be holding up better.
