Lavender has to be my favourite garden plant. I am sorry to hear that yours are not doing well. I hope you keep at it. In the meantime enjoy your successes and what seems like a beautiful garden with a view. I love your lemon tree patio. On a cooking program one time I saw a lemon tree on the Mediterranean which have been trained over a pergola. Truly beautiful. Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by to say hi.
