As Mich recommended, my little lavender plant is getting full sunlight and doing well, so far. I've also added a purple butterfly plant to the mix. ;) My new livingroom currently doesn't have any curtains in the two, large front windows and there's a shelf all the way across below them. That's where my plants now sit, bathed in sunlight. Eventually, they'll move out to the front yard...it's just a matter of finding a safe place where they won't be mowed over accidentally. o_O
