Lavender Explosion

November 25

So in the spring, I planted some French lavender. I adore the smell, the tiny purple buds, and have this isolated full sun spot to put them in. Voila!

Lavender Explosion

Only, look how tiny they were! I was beginning to think I should have bought three in order to fill in the space. Wow, was I wrong! Because…

I took this picture TODAY! Sorry about all the curly brown leaves mixed in, but oh my gosh! They’ve taken over my little crescent moon garden!

What do I do next year? Leave them? Take divisions? Any ideas?

    Amazing, eh?! I’m going to have to read up on what to do with them next. hehe

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
