Oh Glorious Lavender! It is time!
If you grow Lavender you’ll know what I mean when I say “It’s Time!” Lavender has a short window of opportunity to get it harvested, usually within a week…
The flowers bloom…
…usually it takes a few days before all of them bloom…
…and then they need to be cut and dried. I leave some on the plant for the bees but most all of it gets cut! This is enough to make a small sachet…just heavenly!
If you’ve never had a chance to grow Lavender or gone to pick some now would be the time (in the Midwest)!
Have a great day! I’ll be working on my scraps…

I’ve always wanted to try to make Lavender Jelly http://whatscookingamerica.net/LavenderJelly.htm
Apparently the Queen is very fond of it, and it doesn’t look hard to make, if you have enough lavender.
