@stone Yes! I've been to one of those lavender farms, White Oak. It was amazing and inspiring, obviously. Thanks for sharing those resources. I've successfully grown it from seed in a pot and kept it in a pot. My neighbor grows it well in a raised bed and I've seen rosemary in another neighbor's garden. My soil survey says my soil is a combination of Wheaton soil type and Glenelg which consist of "very deep well drained soils." The taxonomic class is "fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, acid."
