Just a quickie post - just to share these nice pic's of the lovely 'blue' that is my lavender!
So what have you been doing today?
I thought it a good day - at least it was dry, to harvest some of my Lavender to make little dried bunches of the summery flower.
I don't have a great many lavender plants - I would like to have great swathes edging garden paths, like you see in posh gardening magazines! - but unfortunately I have only a modest sized garden. But I must say, having lived with a small backyard - I am so very grateful for what I do have, and fill it to bursting with all the flowery delights I can find - on the cheap-ie of course!
My couple of little bushes have done me proud and flowered their little socks off - so before they 'go over' I thought I would save their delights, and their wonderful summery scent, by drying a few bunches.
I can scatter them amongst my linen, or in my drawers - a waft of summery lavender is always welcome in the depths of winter!
I simply snip the flowers with a longish stem and tied them in smallish bundles with cotton.
I have hung them on a little clothes hanger and knitting needle contraption I cobbled together, and hung them in the conservatory where they will dry nicely - smell wonderful too.
