The potential joy of it all. It doesn't seem to work here - I've not pruned my lavender and all it does is look pathetic. No little lavender babies anywhere. It must be the climate. That's it: I'm moving next door to you, Samantha. I WANT those lavender babies. Want 'em. Want 'em!<br /><br />Witch Heather: Yes, I agree. I like being the witch in this family. Have you read The Wee Free Men series by Terry Pratchett? You might find some resonance with Tiffany Aching. I know I did.<br /><br />Love, Witch Sheilasheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-6226027802508573192010-07-05T16:28:47.083-07:002010-07-05T16:28:47.083-07:00I'm glad you don't prune your lavender, Sa...I'm glad you don't prune your lavender, Samantha, it was so great to be able to make lavender wands thanks to your surplus of gorgeous lavender.<br /><br />Shelia, I love this time of year - all sorts of little jars filled with plant matter and oil or alcohol sitting on all the windowsills and in the cupboards. It just feels like such an abundant time of year. Now I really want to try the St. John's Wort oil, it will enhance my reputation (within my family) as a sort of witch doctor if I can make the oil turn red.

If you don't prune your lavender, you will end up with little lavender plants all over the place. You will end up with so many, you will not be able to find enough people to give them away to, and people will start running away when they see you (especially if your hands are behind your back and therefore could be hiding a lavender plant). If you do not prune your lavender plants for seven years (obviously learning nothing from the previous years) they will take over your garden. This could be good or bad, depending on how much you like lavender (thankfully I love it)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844057739575974noreply@blogger.com
