A year of growing Lavender — detailed seasonal notes

Here are my notes from twelve months of growing Lavender:

Spring: autumn berries and foliage colour. This was the moment that confirmed the whole venture. I focused on watering in dry spells in the first two seasons after planting during this period which set up the rest of the year.

wide range from ground-covering species to large specimens developed steadily through the warmer months. leggy and open growth habit from insufficient light appeared in summer and required prompt treatment. The plant in a large container for a terrace or courtyard performed better than I'd expected for the position. Overall: a rewarding year. The investment of attention is paid back generously.
