Gorgeous gardens I must say but you, my friend, remain my TOP inspiration among ALL of the gardening channels!

    Lavender really thrives in full sun, poor dry soil and planted in front of a stone wall, even if it is only one stone. 2 of my Lavender plants are thriving in these conditions out of a dozen that I originally planted. Right plant, right place.

    Lavender is very tricky unless you have really good drainage. Lavender seeds also needs cold stratification. I put the seeds in the fridge then pre sprout in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel inside in a warm bright place and transplant each sprouted seed into a seed tray with potting mix.

    I've really enjoyed this series, and especially this one since Ursula is close to where I live. It's so fun to get inspiration from other beautiful and creative gardens.
    And I've only had lavender for about a year, but it's doing okay. It's in a brick walled planting bed that faces south and just bakes in the sun, so I think that's how it's survived North Carolina humidity. It's up out of that mucky red clay.

    I LOVED gardening in North Carolina. We moved back to TX a few years ago and it's crazy, but I felt like I had to learn how to garden all over again because the climate is so different here. But, honestly, that's one of the things I love about gardening - it's the great equalizer because no matter how good you are at gardening, mother nature ultimately runs the show. :)

    I love your channel and this episode is amazing. I am going to point out that if you get old windows please use precautions and strip them down to the bare wood. And then dispose of the stripper and paint at a hazardous material site. Here’s why, old windows are often painted using paint with lead in it. Not something that you want around veggies. There are lead testing kits but make sure that you scrape all of the layers down to bare wood and then test on that site. Sorry I don’t want to be a downer. ❤

    Lavender seems to thrive in Mediterranean conditions… and even arid desert conditions. I gave up trying to grow it in clay soil with ample rain throughout the year. Tried all the common tips, and then, we would get three days of decent rain, and with clay soil, that was all it took to cause the downward spiral…
    Good luck. Please share if you achieve success!
