Lavender

(summer 2004 pregnant @ purple haze)

(summer 2005 itty-bitty @ purple haze)

This spring I ordered 6, 4" lavender plants from Purple Haze. I have visited this farm many summers running and thought I'd like to have a little here on this side of the water. Well my plants love their new home and have produced and grown more than expected. We cut our first harvest this morning, and placed them in a vase by our front door. Heavenly.

  2. btw... i tried to dry a bunch of hydrangeas and they shriveled up!! it hung them upside down, but they didn't stay full like i hoped. any suggestions for drying them to have a nice bunch to keep in a vase through the seasons like you have??
