    It died before I tried it, but I thought maybe it could be used for Mojito?

    Where is the evidence of your amazing mystical lavender bush Paula?

    Ok, here is my lavender hedge - given this is with the winter cutback, and the plants are 2.5 times this during the summer ..... Of course it does cause problems getting to the car when the bees are enjoying the lavender

    I am jealous. It looks like a sunny spot, maybe mine need more sun. It's lovely it's next to the path, people will brush against it and get the smell of it

    Yeh out the front is south facing (which means the back garden is north facing ). It gets a lot of sun! It's lovely opening the front door in summer as the smell hits you. Hubby hates lavender but tough

    We didn't plant a garden last year because of the move, but I'm excited to help out this year now we're "back on the farm". My mom has the tomatoes, chiles, and a lot of the greens taken care of. It's harder for her to manage much else. I always get so excited this time of year as the seed catalogs come and we start to get outside more. The past few years, we were able to grow almost all the veg we needed and froze, canned, and dried for storage.

    Does your dad lie gardening, maybe you could do the manual labour and he could plant the plants and look after them ?
