The boring thread.....

My lavender plants aren't looking too healthy, but mine are in pots and from what I've read it grows better in the soil.

Maybe you're right about growing in pots, alex.  MIne are in pots too, and don't look too good so far this year.
I will read up on that.  Thanks.

Couldn't find any lavender in the store today.
I ordered some online..
Old English and some Pink..

I didn't know they came in white.. Might look at those..

Scrumpy,  Norfolk Lavender have some white ones.
They've even got one I have never seen before - a red and white one.   It's called Kew Red.

Mups...I have just looked at the link ..
So many types and colours of lavender.. 
When I was a kid lavender was just blue...

[Mups]

Yes,  there are so many if you look at the actual growers rather than garden centres
The French lavenders are lovely,  but not so hardy as the English.


I visited Norfolk Lavender once,  there's lots to see there,  and everything they sell, like hand creams, shampoos, air fresheners etc,  are all made with their lavender.  There's a nice cafe there too.

By the way,  this is another plant I love.  Garden Pinks. Beautiful colours and the most heavenly scent. 
These people have a wonderful selection, in case you were interested.

Thank you Mups.. 
Today I am testing my garden solar lights before I hang them in the trees and bushes..

Also I am waiting a paint delivery.. I painted a fence the other day.. The colour was horrible 
I am going to paint it dark grey instead.. I always use dark grey..
 Why on earth did I change it !!..

I got my solar lights out yesterday, some hanging and some pushed into plant tubs, all working away fine. Just one to go yet, a table lamp but it's a bit windy for it.

How you feeling today. Raven?
Any better?    I hope so.

Not too bad thanks Mups, Able to drive again so been having my latte down at the front watching the ocean. Still no pool, not up to that yet maybe next week. Managing to do jobs round the place but have to sit afterwards for a wee while. Hope your on the mend.

I went to aqua aerobics today, coffee with friends after, then had my nails done.  Felt nearly normal again. Apart from my washing line snapping and the bedding landing on the grass, it's been a good day! 😁
