Home Again - Hello Roses
'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.

There is a lavender festival in the Sequim area every year, but the traffic is horrendous. You could come up to the Olympic Peninsula for it and stay in the area, it's very picturesque, and Far Reaches Farm is nearby. Does the book tell you how to pronounce Sequim?
ReplyDeleteAlison, the book does not mention how to pronounce it. My co-worker says it is "SKWIM" so the "Q" sounds like "K".
DeleteI have always seen pictures like this of lavender farms in France. It is nice to know that there is lavender being grown here in the states. I would love to see such a sight.
ReplyDelete12 inches a year of rain is slightly less than our average. An interesting place to garden. Must be very grey in the fall and winter--with none of the moisture--I wonder what that is like.
