Today was a perfect day to take the "kids" outside! Normally the trio enjoys watching the world from behind a screened window. Molly was the bravest and ventured out on the deck first. She inspected all of the fairy gardens:
Not to be out done, Merlin joined in the fun:
There was much sniffing and sun bathing!

Still waiting for them to ripen! And I thought these were "Early Girls"??? There are at least 5 that may be ready by the end of the month.
Grow babies grow!
There are even new buds on the second plant!
What a tangle of the nicest smelling leaves and buds! But what an ugly duckling compared to its regal cousin:
Check out all of those buds! I am very excited to harvest my lavender this year after waiting out their first year.
