Heidi's Lavender Farm

Welcome! I managed to escape to a glorious place for a short while today. My trip was to dig a little bamboo for my garden.
That was not so easy, as the roots grow rather thick, about three or four inches down, parallel to the ground.
I could have used a small axe to cut the shallow roots.Before I dug up my plants, I got to walk around the many gardens that Heidi grows at her Saltsburg farm. There are some relaxing gardens, veggie gardens, and glorious flower gardens. There are even plants for sale. Inspiring!

Lavender Wand Lesson

I just found this lesson on a blog I enjoy, A Sonoma Garden, and want to pass it on.


My lavender might be a bit past optimum for making a wand, but a practice run might be smart anyway.

I have lots to work with, and who can complain about working with that wonderful smell.
