 This is the lavender I moved last month because it wasn't getting enough sun. Photo on right is the day I moved it and the left photo is today It has  hasn't died as you can see.  It will be interesting to see how it looks next month. 

 Take a look at the change in
 these other lavender. They

                                                          were originally offshoots from

5 14 12 they're going to make it



a main plant.  I moved them to the back of the yard a couple of years ago (I think this is the 3rd year).  They bloomed very well each year but this past winter was so dry that it appeared they were goners.  There is an amazing difference in just 30 days.  The lesson that is so important for lavender growers to remember is .... never assume they are dead!  They may look dead, but they struggle on through and by June they are blooming again. 

Not everything in the yard

is in a struggle for survival, look at this 

beautiful redbud tree and the lilacs that

line the driveway. 

When not admiring the flowers, I'm sewing like a mad woman to get enough products ready for the  upcoming fairs.                                                                                    I'll post some sewing photos next time.
