My six lavender plants now have their wool blankets on for the winter. It's a great way to use the yucky wool that I don't use for anything else. It's the belly and leg wool that is too short or other wool that may have too much VM or manure tags. It will protect the base of the plants against the winter winds and keep them warm and cozy until spring.

What kind of lavender are your plants? I'd like to plant some next year, but am not sure which kind will do good here in Michigan. Also, just read your poems and quotes, and I must say they were quite beautiful and inspiring, on a day that I truly needed it. Thank you.
Tracy...I have Hidcote and Munstead varieties of lavender. They are hardy varieties and I've had trouble keeping a lavender plant alive in the past so a hardy variety was needed. So far so good!
I'm glad the poems and quotes were uplifting. To me, reading (and re-reading) poems and quotes put things in perspective.
