The lavender is in full bloom right now. I can hardly walk to my front door because of the bees buzzing about. I can remember when Julia was little her friends would be afraid to come to our door because of the bees. I have about six plants in this small hedge and they thrive in this spot. I've had them since I began the garden over 20 years ago, and have only replaced two plants in all those years. Mine are the 'Munstead' variety, but I think there's a 'Hidcote' in there too (it's the darker blue).
Back in the day I used to cut it and make sachets and lavender bundles. When Julia was young and in the crafty mode, she made lavender wands. But now I just admire it.
