Slowly settling down for the winter months. We are getting some cleaning up done with fence fixing, moving things around we seem to shuffle from gardening mode to farming mode after harvest time. There is so much to do all the time really every day can keep you in full speed ahead mode. Yesterday afternoon was used up with soap making it takes eight weeks for the soap to cure. I will post the available soap on the web site www.petitcreeklavender.com or www.facebook.com/petitcreeklavender. or here on the blog.
Our new flavours are orange and poppy~seed. Lily of the valley and Lavender.
One is a good ole fashion soap
We also have made a smooth silky Olive oil base soap
A goat milk base so a lot of new coming

Welcome to October

 here's a little fall for you

Late fall in the garden it was really nice to see the colour. Every year is so different.

Yesterday I harvest Peppermint for our peppermint tea we have two types of this tea. Peppermint and lavender and Just Peppermint. It smells so good not a hard thing to harvest at all. One thing about our farm everything we harvest has a wonderful scent.
It is amazing we still have lavender to harvest in the gardens which is a nice surprise I find every year is different for us.

Still harvesting some of the lavender

It is a wet, gray and dreary day here in the gardens perfect for all the flowers and trees after the hot, hot summer. I noticed our flowers blooming time was cut a lot shorter with our intense heat. Yesterday I used part of the day to empty out flower pots and store them. We had an abundance of extra flower pots from the wedding so a lot of the trees, shrubs went into the ground with the hopes there is enough time for the roots to take hold before winter comes.
The rest of the day I spent it rototilling I did manage to get the herb garden done and then I replanted the herbs from their pots I will harvest later and I hope some of the herbs will winter. My sister and her husband have let me use a rototiller that they had, had at the homestead. It starts on one pull but I have noticed over the time I have been using it the blades are not rotating that well :( I will have to get my husband to have a look when he gets a moment.
Next up in the garden I will start cutting back plants it may seem early but for us as soon as school starts hockey starts so most of my time is used up driving to and from town.
We still have some fresh lavender if anyone is interested in a bouquet
