Do you fertilize before winter?

09/19/2025

It’s been a while since we posted anything! Life has been busy for the past month or so. It’s been extremely dry and hot here and we’ve lost some of our plants. As 1st time growers, it’s been a sad. But, we’re learning! We definitely will plant in Spring next season, not in July.

Summer is getting ready to end in Oklahoma and before you know it, winter will be here! Hopefully, our 1st frost will be in November, not in October. Oklahoma weather is unpredictable.

How do our plants look? Can anyone give me advice on when and how we should prune our plants? I’m so scared of doing something wrong and killing them!!!

This is our 1st year of growing lavender! We’ve had struggles due to the excessive heat and bipolar Oklahoma weather! We’ve been struggling with highs around 100 degrees during the day, and 96 during the evening.

We’ve had alot of rain these past few days, with temps in the lower 60s. 🤪We’ve had three days of rain & our plants look better than ever.(once the rain stops, I will take care of the weeds)

Ants = worst little pests ever 🐜

It’s been unbearably hot and windy in Oklahoma this week. Here’s some pictures taken today, Super Blue, Grosso, Phenomenal, Melissa Lilac, and Hidcote. I only have 3 plants of Hidcote that I got for Mother’s Day! I will be getting more!

For beginner farmers, I’m pretty happy with their progress. I’m having a blast!!!

We planted 36 Super Blue plugs on 6/22. I pinched quite a few buds before we went camping over the weekend. Today, almost every plant has new buds on them. Should I continue to pinch the buds off? When do you stop doing this and let them grow?

To me, they seem to look good, but, I don’t have experience growing lavender (yet!)

How do these 2 plants look? Any suggestions and/or comments are appreciated.

We finally were able to plant Melissa Lilac, the remainder of Grosso and I had 4 Hidcote that I was growing in containers that went into the ground tonight.

Our Phenomenal, Super Blue, Grosso (last of the pictures) were planted on 6/22. We’ve had alot of rain since 6/22, just about every day since planting these. Hopefully, after the next couple of days we will have some dry out time.

We’re having a blast learning about growing lavender, we’ve made some mistakes, but it’s all about growing pains!

We were trying to beat the rain and we got done just in time. We will pick up where we left off another day!

We want to send out a big thank you for the beautiful plants we received from Audrey and Adam with Sleepy Creek Lavender Co.
