Re: Lavender Plant
Perfect! Thanks Mags
Yes, I never realized how huge this plant would get & I just love it! Its in bloom right now & I brought some stems inside, so far my birds have left it alone
I'll have to find out how I could dry it for sachets. I wish I knew how to make real lavender oil because the boughten oil is so expensive.

Follow Mups instructions to try.

Re: Lavender Plant
I don't usually cover as I find this can cause mould. Lavender usually roots very easily. In one house I re-rooted a whole lavender hedge as the original had become very straggly and unsightly. This year, for the first time, I have tried growing from seed. Not sure what I am going to do with the plants, but it did seem a good idea at the time.13-07-2014, 02:16 PM

I grow no end of seeds and then have far more plants then I need or want, but I do so love growing things. I must cut down and only grow what I actually need in future, that would be far more sensible.

Re: Lavender Plant
Aldi had the seed kit on offer and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Like you Mups, can't resist the thrill of growing. I also get very excited when cuttings have taken. My garden is full of *my friends* Cutting s that have been taken from from cuttings. I have lived in several places in the UK and took cuttings from friends gardens. Each time I moved I took cuttings from those. I walk around my garden and am reminded of so many people.13-07-2014, 03:06 PM

I guess I'd have to bring them indoors, or cheaper just to buy new plants,
