Last week, I babysat my two youngest granddaughters while their mama and daddy were out of town.
My daughter surprised me with a bunch of lavender from her yard and some cherries from her neighbor's tree
that has fruit filled branches hanging over into my daughter's yard.
I was thrilled!
Lavender is a favorite of mine, and the lavender in my yard had an unfortunate demise and didn't bloom.
Thankfully, lavender plants are relatively inexpensive, so I dug up the old and planted some new.
I've bought and planted two English culinary lavender plants, one French lavender, and two Spanish lavender.
Dried lavender in a zinc watering can is perfection to me.
Now, I just hope I don't kill the lavender in my yard again!
still following,
Love lavender! Your bundle does look perfect in the zinc pitcher.

Thank you, Mary Alice!
ReplyDeleteI have one lavender plant outside....I keep wondering how to propagate it. You've inspired me! I think I'll go out and cut a few springs and bring them in!
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I hung the bunch upside down for a couple of days to dry them.
DeleteYour lavender is lovely, Elizabeth! I dug up most of my lavender plants and planted new ones so there won't be much to pick in my garden this summer. :) Love the zinc watering can too!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I had to do also. I'm happy to have this bunch from my daughter.
