It's HOT! We just finished our Lavender Daze festival, so now we can concentrate on harvesting the lavender, up-potting plants, and clearing out the greenhouses. We got a tiny sprinkle of rain, but not enough yet so that we aren't spending most of our time dragging hoses. When it is this hot (mid-90's and 90% humidity) the flowers come and go so quickly that it is impossible to keep up with the deadheading, but we'll try. The gardens look surprisingly good, considering the heat and lack of rain. The daylilies are coming on quickly, and I'm beginning to worry that they'll all be gone before Daylily & Dinosaur Days. Of course, I always have something to worry about! There's still lots of lavender in the field, and the lavandins are just beginning, so come visit!
