Here I am with my helper Noah and one of our 3 dogs, Sam, while Sean photographs us planting our first row of lavender.  This first row is called Melissa and was mainly chosen for its light pink flowers and culinary uses.

Well, it doesn't look like much, but that is 144 lavender plants.  Looking forward to success and adding 100's more over the coming years.

 My wonderful husband tilled the our first field and his little helpers Sean and Noah

 helped rake the dirt into these nice raised beds.  I was so thrilled to see how much they had accomplished.  Now, to get the weed barrier down and the lavender planted!

 Here is a picture of the future lavender test field taken from the north end of the field.  The fence is our neighbors, which usually has cows grazing in it. Just south of the field is Nettle Creek.

This is another picture of the future lavender field taken from the top of the hill near our home.
