The lavender bloom was late this year because of our long chilly spring. The blooms at Graysmarsh Farm are making up for lost time. The Farm sells u-pick lavender and several kinds of berries. I’ll post more about their berries soon.

Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm. I’ll post two more pictures from here tomorrow and the next day. What a peaceful place to explore…the scent of lavender in the air and the humming of bees as you walk around is a great combination.
Start of Lavender Festival
This is Olympic Lavender Farm, another farm on the tour for the Lavender Festival.
Lavender Festival on the way
The Lavender Festival starts tomorrow. It’s the largest lavender event in North America. The photo above is Port Williams Lavender, one of the farms on the tour. Locals, are you ready?
Lavender Harvest
Now normally one would think I would show you a picture of this in August at the very latest…but my summer was different this year. Friday I spent the day taking the dried buds off the stalks so that in two weeks when my garden helpers come back, I will have a place to put my outdoor plants away before the first frost. I’ve had a bit of a hurt shoulder as of late. This task was fairly easy…and when I was done, I smelled really good!
