GROWING LAVENDER

I started growing lavender in 2008 and it is coming along nicely. I started some with seeds and I bought some plants at the garden center. Mumstead grows well in Zone 5. The lavender will be more plentiful for me this year than in other years as the plants are bigger.

Lavender grows best in dry well drained sandy or gravelly soil.

I will dry the lavender, tying bunches together and hanging upside down in an attic or up high in a dry not humid area.

    I have a garden but I'll need to add lavender now for putting in vases and drying for sashets. I tried some once to no avail. I have good luck with sunflowers.
