Growing and Harvesting Lavender

10:39 AM, Friday, June 1, 2007 .. Posted in Gardens .. 1 comments .. Link

I have been trying for several years to grow lavender. I've been growing from seed, without much luck. I acutally have a couple of seedlings that are doing pretty well now. They are about 2 inches tall. I have bought lavender from seed companies, only to have them die. Last year I bought a plant from Walmart. I grew quite large, but didn't bloom. But now......it is blooming!! I am sooooo excited! Lavender is my favorite scent for EVERYTHING! I even have lavender essential oil that I put in my homemade cleaners. lol  I was looking up how to harvest and store the lavender,  and thought I'd share some links.

Lavender is really hard to start from seed, so good job on persevering! You can also start it from cuttings, much like rosemary. I love growing lavender!

Blessings,
Keri
