I really like this concept! Good luck with the lavender!
Thanks! I look forward to a summery photo full of lavender.
Lavender is the best!
I know, I hope I manage to grow lots and keep it all alive!
I’ve never had much luck with lavender. I hope it flourishes for you.
I know what you mean, I am no green fingered gardener, fingers crossed!
I am jealous! My soil is still covered by two feet of snow! 🙂
I am so over snow now, we might still get more.
I have a lavender garden, too! after I dry them, I put them in baby food jars & place them in a dark place-closet. I then put them in the container part of my vacuum, the exhaust from the vacuum smells yummy. I also put some in cheese cloth bags & put them in my closets, draws & linen closet. I love it so much, that I’ve bought lavender oil & put it on my air filter. I buy lavender cleaning products (meyers’) & candles…so my whole house smells (to visitors, we are used to it) like lavender. sorry for babbling. Have a wonderful harvest. ~amy
Great ideas Amy, thanks for the great ideas. I love the vacuum one, I use lavender cleaning products too. I really hope I can grow a whole raised bed full of lavender.
Here is what i’ve learned, there are different types, that like different things. I sort of mixed them up when I planted them in the dirt. If one seemed to be dying, I would dig it up & plant it in a different place, this seems to work well. Once they are happy, you better get out of the way, they grow so big & beautiful! ~amy
Good tips, I do want happy plants!
