The grass at our house has functioned as a lawn AND a parking lot for previous renters. I’ve been trying to even out the lawn and get grass to spread to all of the unlovely areas of the lawn. On the side of the lawn (pictured above), beside the alley, I planted five lavender plants yesterday. My hope is that they’ll provide a nice barrier once they’re established in the soil and start to grow. I love the smell of lavender and am excited to see them grow into big bushes.
Lisa, after seeing all of the lavender plants in Sonoma I thought they would be the perfect plant for our yard because they LOVE the sun! The frangrance will also be a nice addition!
Hey Lisa Marie: Way to go!!!!! Good idea and it will look good, smell good and be utilitarian. I like it!!!!!

I love it! Lavender is a wonderful, calming, soothing influence on the soul! Good move! Love, Lisa in Lodi
Nice picture, babe. I guess this would be “Where Lisa Gardens”. I look forward to seeing the lavendar (and the house).
Love you,
Andrew
Lisa, Can you start a “Where I Do Things” series too? I would love to see your house, your “lawn”, and your creative memories station. I especially love the pictures of your plants as it will be many moons before I have a yard of my own. Perhaps I can staple a picture of yours to our curb or something.

Hi Lisa,
First, a big THANKS for delivering the plant to Lodi. You are showing a real talent for growing things…Lavender is one of the nicest of garden flowers. Your neighbors will probably enjoy their blooming scent, too. They remind me of the old-fashioned sachets. Nice addition to your little yard.
Love the picture of the lavender. Good choice of flower!
