Lavender Planting

Today Stewart and I tidied the front driveway and moved what seemed tons of gravel. The driveway needed a new protective membrane to stop the weeds!

I also planted on at least 70 of my Lavender plants into the next size pots. This was a lovely job to do in contrast to the gravel! The original plants came from Norfolk Lavender see their website at

www.norfolk-lavender.co.uk

I will plant out some, Mum will have some and the rest I will put on my stalls.

I just love this video of the harvesting of the lavender and look forward to more of that this year. They make it look so easy! I am not going to use shears anymore!

You can see all the process at Norfolk Lavender and they have their festival in July, a great day out!

Enjoy this video.

Tulips

Inside Sally-Ann's Blue studio it was beautifully presented

with all her work and inspiration.

Textiles galore, pictures and sketchbooks.

The tulip embroidered textile above was the inspiration

for a rag rug Sally-Ann was working on and next year she will be exhibiting

pictures from the same inspiration.

After a cup of coffee and a chat we wandered back down her garden.

To get in the mood with" Tulips from Amsterdam",

this video has wonderful displays as well as artwork.
