| Banded 71 bundles last week. |
I've been harvesting some of the lavender bushes that have bloomed this month. Still have some in my yard that are not ready yet. There is a big difference between those planted in my yard and those at Angie's yard. At her house they are planted in "red mountain soil" which is sandy -- the water drains away quickly. They also benefit from more direct sun. A couple of factors may contribute to the slower growth in my yard: clay soil although amended with gravel and stuff to help drain water away; some of the plants get mottled sun rather than full, direct, all-day sun; some have been transplanted from one spot to another which probably slows growth (I often change my mind-poor things); a couple plants came from shoots off of the main plant and seem to be smaller than the mother plant. Regardless, they are all producing beautiful, fragrant lavender. Je suis heureax! (watched Poirot last night).
