Gardening is a story of successes and failures. As I try new things each year I learn from my mistakes. This time my mistake was to winter over most of the lavender seedlings in the veg garden. That soil turned out to be too wet for their liking.
For those who know lavender well you may notice a few problems in this planting. First, the plants are too close together. Second, there is very lttle green showing on many of these plants. I decided to start them close (they should be 24” apart) because I have a feeling many of them may not survive. I also have extra plants so I might as well give them a chamce. You never know.
Here is another example of a plant that may be in the wrong spot. The hot, sunny, well drained soil is not ideal for bloodroot. They did have beautiful flowers last year and seem ready to flower again this spring, so I guess this can’t be too bad a spot. For now anyway.
