A few months ago I planted a small lavender bush on my firescape that I purchased from Crest Hardware on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. You really need to go if you haven't been yet. It is the best hardware store ever with the friendliest and most helpful staff. I actually wish I worked there sometimes when I'm digging around in the garden section.
Anyway, we have had such incredible warm weather in New York recently that has helped the plant grow to five times in size in the past week alone. Wow, today is HOT. It's 94 degrees in the city.
Image above is from my actual Polaroid SX-70 (shocker, I know) I took this morning. I clipped a small bunch and placed the stems in an old jar on my nightstand. I am sooo excited to know I'll smell fresh lavender when I go to sleep tonight.
Summer is here, finally.
