Thanks - I took the icon pic the last time I was traveling in Provence. The lavender fields there are one of my fav things in the world.

So, wow - I think I actually managed to do every possible wrong thing when growing lavender - maybe I'll give it another try, now that I know.

Thanks for the chard suggestions!

I'll post if we do decide to go the sleeve route and let you know how it goes.
