FINALLY FINISHED! Well, with this plot anyway. I have 27 left over Phenomenal plants – see pictured. Will be arranging for tractor dude – as I call him – to come out and till another area for our second plot.  He is so reasonably priced and local it’s far cheaper than purchasing our own tractor with tiller attachment at this point.  It was not in our original plan to do another plot, but this is always a work in progress.  We we will have an area tilled and ready to go with some plants in the ground and space to plant for next year.  

​The grassy area pictured at the end of the current field is where I plan to do the next plot.. I am going to plant these 27 extra plants this year and preorder 72 Royal Velvet for next spring.  I wanted this variety because it is a GREAT culinary lavender and has a very deep purple color, but I was unable to find it this year locally. There were a couple of lavnder farmers in the state who had it but it would have required a 3-hour, one-way trip to go get them Normally I am not one to mind a road trip, but with moving, planting, graduation party, and lots of orders to fulfill it just wasn’t possible. By next summer e will have over 300 plants in the ground with 5 different varieties 4 English and 2 intermediate (if all plants make it through the winter) Thanks for following this journey.  Will keep posting news and updates.

  1. This blog can make a very huge impact to the readers. The project that aims to have a field with plants. Plants that can make our home a better place to live in. They have a great place to grow some plants and it can also be a great opportunity for them to discover something. A discovery that may change their life. This is an exciting project for me. I am proud that I have read this project.
