I planted lavender this year. I've never grown it before, but I like the soothing fragrance and the look, so I hope it will survive. Maybe this was in the back of my mind, a sniff of Provence, but it's an American tradition as well. (Unlike the Times, I don't feel guilty about planting it.)
I'm also thinking about planting some arugula, but will probably just end up killing it. It doesn't really belong in a victory garden.
