We have begun to cut the lavender

Today we began to give the the lavender a haircut. We are just pruning them back to help them grow. Normally you cut in July and again in October.
This is not a typical cutting they are short and much less than a older plant.
I'm going to come up with something fun with the stems that I gather from the first cutting.
This is from the first 6 rows. Only 74 to go.
