I just love lavender. I have a variety of plants - English, French and Spanish - about 12 in total. I find the English and French lavender to be the best producers, and the hardiest. If I had to choose, it would be English lavender.
I was very late this year and should have harvested my lavender sooner, but better late than never I say. I harvested only one plant this afternoon, and as I write, I feel intoxicated by the aroma around me. The plant I harvested gave me an incredible yield.
Without having a plan, I filled 7 small vases and placed one in every room of the house. It smells heavenly, and is so relaxing.
Next I filled a few sachet bags with the flower buds, though not sure what I will do with them yet.
I have a bowl of flower buds left and will likely try to make some more sachets, or perhaps fill a sock and keep some in the drawers. Next year, I will start early and get creative. For now, I will just be soothed and calmed by the scent of this wonderful perennial.
