@Todd.grobo have you ever mixed a little lavender with your herb to smoke??

Here is my Lavender field I started 500 plants from seed 3 years ago.

Going to be making some oil soon

I had 5 plants last year only one survived
They dont like the climate here.

To bad I love lavender. Bee’s like crazy and the smell is so nice… I always wanted to build a few bee hive box’s but I’m not sure I have the time to be a beekeeper lol

We do as much as we can to attract as were the only ones within a few blocks growing. Mostly older people with flower baskets. All paid landscaping. We do our own… hence the cinderblock garden… 240 stones at 40 lb each was a lot of work. But seems to have worked well. No wasp nests yet. Protected root base.
I really tried lavender but 1 of 6. Raspberries ive lost a lot too which is odd they are weeds.

Dont really have pests unless its weather related. Too wet and bugs will come for radish and beets. Last year we had a lot of slugs so we put lots of ash and.chunks in with the regular coffee egg shell mix.

I do have to content with 5 squirrels and a dozen birds at least. I check my berries at night and pick at 6am. No joke.

I do believe you about picking berries that early. Bird attack my peaches and berries like crazy.

It’s true bees are endangered species and the world needs them desperately

Thanks so much!!

It’s a lot of work but relaxing at the same time. I lose focus on my tent when my Veg garden is going.

Ps try mixing a little fresh dried lavender in your bud. So nice. (I know you don’t smoke but something to google for fun)

Lemon balm and lavender all around the house would probably lift my spirits that’s for sure and a great idea! :eyes::seedling:
