Falling in Love with Lavender….
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Lavender Lovers….OMD! I love lavender and I can’t for the life of me understand why I have not planted it in the past. Yesterday, Grandma and I went to the garden center (AGAIN)!
Immediately we were drawn to the new crop of lavender….
We filled our cart proudly with the purple plants! Grandma said that we must plant them where the hounds can brush up against it to perfume their coats. I fell in love with the idea!
I was sitting outside this morning deciding where to plant our lovely lavender when the Mayor came out to assist.
What about over by the fence Mommy? I like to explore in that region…..
Here we have the Mayor walking past the lavender. I kind of brushed his coat with the leaves…
Mommy, what are your doing?
I explained to the Mayor howl the lovely lavender will help to keep certain odors down and potentially delay a bath!!!!!!
The Mayor fell in love with the idea and proclaimed his executive decision….
“Buy more lavender”……

never knew that…very cool…
my personal favorite is pineapple sage..makes the whole place smell like pineapple..i use it in baking & glaze for meats & bbq sauce…&n just for sticking my nose in…
i bought some pineapple & apple mint for the yard this year…it smelled so good…just had to do it..it must also be a little tasty too since one of them (out of 3) seems to have vanished…
oh & the heirloom cherry tomato plant is spitting out cherry maters already..(don’t remember if i mentioned that already…but someone has been snacking…& my orange eggplant plant has flowers galore so hopefully that will be a good experiment…
i might have to go get some lavender now..just because!
Oh Lois…I love hearing about your garden. Now I want some pineapple sage! That sounds delicious! Enjoy the Lavender…I know you will love it…
Hope you had a great weekend!
Interesting fact about dogs and lavender. Boy, I’ll bet your yard will win prettiest yard of the month if you don’t stay out of the garden shops! How fun!
Cindy – ex……cu……se……Mememememe! Prettiest yard of the month? Try summer! hehehehe
Just ask mememememe! All kidding aside…Grandpa would be proud!
That picture is gorgeous. I have never been a big fan of lavender. I seem to think of it as an older woman’s fragrance. I love the scents of fresh strawberries and lilacs.
I do think that the hounds will love the lavendar fragrance with their powerful noses.
Very pretty!!! You and Teeter have green thumbs.
