I rarely mention,…

or show, the six lavender plants (? Munstead) I’ve had on the plot for around fifteen years or so.  On Tuesday I deadheaded then tidied up around them.  They’re on the flower patch alongside the grass path, and opposite the dog rose.  They really need replacing as they’re now rather woody, so I’ll be thinking about that over the winter when I’m armchair gardening.  I may plant new ones there or possibly replace them with something different.

I was surprised to find that I only have a few pictures of them in the archives including this one showing a Small Tortoiseshell butterfly on the flowers, which was taken back in July 2013.

I’ve not done much else on the plot so far this week, mainly due to the weather, and with several hours of heavy rain due early tomorrow it’s looks like I won’t be doing much for the next day or so either.

Have a good weekend, and take care!

  1. Your Lavender looks lovely Mike. 🙂 you won’t get rid of it completely will you? Is it not possible to take a few cuttings , or seedlings and give it new life? …A xx

  2. Discoveries of another kind. Beautiful archive photo.
    I avoid Lavender as I have negative physical reactions to it. I do though, like to see fields of it at a distance.

  3. I didn’t know (or didn’t remember) that you had lavender in the plot. Lovely archival photo. Decisions to be to be made on which variety to replace the Munstead.
