Dayton "Dirt" - January 29, 2010

Tomorrow is the first in our series of winter seminars beginning with the multiple uses of lavenders and how to grow them.

This herb (perennial) is not only versatile when harvested but is well known in the perennial garden for its flowers and fragrance.

I can remember the lavender growing on the hillside of Provence, France when I stayed in a small town above Nice called Vence. The only disappointment was that my timing was off as none were noticeable as they were not in bloom.

Tomorrow, January 30th, is the first day of use of our new barn that we call the "Owl Barn". This structure is a perfect place to hold seminars in that it is heavily insulated and boasts an in floor heating system powered by a small boiler. We have already had this system cranked up to check it out and I must say that all those attending should be nice and warm no matter the weather outside.

I hope you can come. The seminar begins at 12 noon and will include a short break for refreshments. See you there.

Tom
