Lavender Days

Oh dear, this year’s lavender days are just about over. Already the last of the lavender flowers are turning brown at the edges. Soon there will be nothing left of them to cut. The heat wave we’ve been experiencing certainly doesn’t allow for a long season. Thank goodness I managed to dry some of the flowers so that I can at least enjoy their fresh scent over the winter months. This year I only had two plants to draw from, but hopefully next year the eleven plants I put in this spring will have matured enough to produce lots of flowers.
