From something rather overgrown to something a much neater. I had to cut into the wood a bit so fingers crossed that it all works out well for next year. We shall see in the Spring when I next prune the lavender. I feel sorry for this lavender as it gets a huge amount of [...]

The other week I mentioned that really I woud like to replace the lavender as it had got all woody, but really that was me thinking allowed as I know only too well that my dis-organisation would mean that these lavenders will last for at least another year. It was suggested that I should try [...]

New Lavenders from Gardener's World

Lavender and the Bee
Why does the wind decide to blow when you are trying to get a close up of a bumble bee on lavender. Well, this is the best I could do for today.

Lavender looking good
This is in the front garden by the door. An interesting story here as it was a lavender plant that used to be in the back garden where the decking is now. I dug it up and stuck it in the front which at that time was just a bit of earth by the door. [...]
