As we approach the shortest day it’s a great opportunity to reflect on how we might beat the upcoming “winter blues”. We have continued to be busy out in the fields tilling and weeding. It is amazing how the grass continues to grow; even through the early periods of winter.

The first shoots of Spring have sprung across our fields of Pacific Blue and Grosso.

It has been a relatively mild winter and the lavender has come through some -3 degree frosts well.

Winter's grip is well and truly upon us with light snow falling on the lavender fields last week. The lavender is nicely pruned and awaits the first warmth of the coming Spring - although thats probably two months away.
