(I saw this in a book somewhere but can't remember what book!) It's hard to describe but is a really good combination of tastes.

We knew where we wanted to focus and also added things to our agenda that we wouldn't even have known about otherwise. Highly recommended reading!

Course, I'm a lavender fan from way back. I had a lot of trouble growing it in my garden until I started harvesting the flowers quite soon after they opened. Cutting the flowers off really helps the rest of the plant to grow big and bushy. Then, it has the strength to flower again. Thx for the names of the different varieties too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
