My garden wouldn't be complete without the addition of Lavender....
Today's small harvest has scented the entire house.
I like to place all the discarded leaves and broken stems in a pan of water, to steep on the stovetop for a little while. The scent is amazing!!!!
The little bundles will be hung to dry.
You inspired me to cut mine today! Yes! Sometimes I just hate to cut flowers because I love seeing them in the garden, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do ;) . And with lavender I suppose I shouldn't even think twice.
ReplyDeleteHolly,
DeleteI had a hard time harvesting mine too...There was a happy little humble bee working away as I harvested..I felt the guilties but quickly reminded myself that I have planted and provided many blooms for them to enjoy :-)
How I would love to have that much to harvest! My one and only plant didn't make it through this past winter.
ReplyDeleteOh Jill....I am sorry to here that ;-( I only have two plants but I am thinking I need to add a couple more for next year!
