The Retirement Thread

[Mart44]

Good morning - A ride to the allotment this morning and a ride to see my brother this afternoon,

There's been very few insects round my Buddleia or my Lavender this year, in previous years when we've walked up the path insects have flown off the lavender in clouds, but not this year, this year the Budldleia was late and the lavender appears to have finished early.

There are fewer insects than usual but our lavender bushes are covered with bumble bees. Mrs Mart thought I'd killed the bushes because I trimmed them back so hard last year. They were certainly late in getting started, which was a worry but they are looking good now. The allotment has plenty of flowers too and the bees have been around them, so maybe that's why the runner beans are doing OK. I notice that most people on the allotments grow flowers too. Maybe this helps to keep bees in the area.

Don’t know about putting it in my bloomers, but I did put some in an old sock to put under the pillow to help me sleep! Lol.

@Drago puts Lavender in his old Y Fronts and puts them under his pillow to help to ward off evil spirits......

 

[Dave7]

Very true.

You recall that pair you left here when you had to leave in a hurry? Well, when I sent them to you did you not smell the lavender on them ?
