Judy, sounds like you've recovered somewhat from the meds. Hope you foot
recovers quickly, too.

Maybe not, it's from the nursery rhyme, "Lavender's Blue."

"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly.
Lavender's green.
When I am King, dilly dilly,
you shall be Queen."

My childhood book of nursery rhymes had colored reproductions of Rackham's
illustrations. That one had a little boy & girl in a garden. He was
handing
her a posey of lavender. Until I saw it I thought lavender was just the
way
soap smelled. Didn't know it was a plant.
Well, there's another early memory I didn't know I had. Thanks for the
jog,
Pam.

One tried and true, 2 new ones. Provence I've grown before, and the
Silver Edge and Dilly Dilly sound great. Silly name on that last one but
these will be great in containers on the porch being on 12" high. We
usually only get 30 or 35" of rain a YEAR, so 22" in one month is
unheard of and will likely never happen again in my lifetime. It's no
wonder those poor babies drowned. And of course, the Goodwin Creek Grays
survived the flood but they are only marginally hardy so as soon as we
got that low teens cold snap, they bit the dust!! I ordered 8 plants
(quart size) so I won't have to wait forEVER for them to get big.

Thanks for the morning chuckle Pam.... seems funny
that YOU would loose plants due to too much water:)

Hope the new ones are better than the old ones
where... Did you try new varieties?
