2010 BLOOM STATUS - thanks to the winter moisture: 

May 10:  Angustifolia in full bloom!  Provence is spiking in the field.  5 Year Old Garden Provence will have first full blooms in June.  

2009 Bloom Status:

June 16 Angustifolias in full bloom. 

July 15. Angustifolia harvested, Provence spiking in Garden.  

August 15.  Provence spiking in field. 

Sept 20.  Provence is spiking/in bloom in final field section.  Most of Garden in full bloom. Surviving through floods followed by two years of drought shows just how adaptible lavender is. 

Yep, that's Tex with one of his projects, a stainless steel and copper lavender distiller. There is nothing quite like the smell of essential lavender oil or hydrosol in the making. 

2009: That's Tex on his newest project. Any guesses?   I'm guessing we'll be safe from floods at that height!
