Growing Lavender

Lavender. 


Who doesn't love the look and aroma of these spiked flowers. They represent purity, serenity, grace and devotion. They're fragrance can fill a room with quiet sweetness. 

 I love to cook with lavender. You can use any type, but English lavenders have the best oils and aromatics for cooking. It can be used in sweet or savory dishes. 


Lavender has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. A little lavender rubbed on a burn or a cut for a little relief and healing. 

It's great for keeping away mosquitos. Keep a plant on or near your deck or patio and rub some flowers on your skin. Mosquitos will move on!

Happy 4th - Late!

 Did everyone have a great 4th of July? I sure did! I was so excited to have people over and enjoy the fruits of my gardening labor. It was awesome. We ate berries from the garden. Enjoyed sitting on the new lawn. It was fabulous. Hope yours was too!
