Lavender in winter
I took a stomp through deep snow and drifts to check on my lavender still resting dormant inside my little greenhouse. It will be many weeks before it awakes.

And I took a hike out to the far edge of the secret garden where lavender also grows and to the western lavender streams still very much asleep under its cozy snow blanket.

Everything still in a deep winter’s sleep, I retreated inside where I store my dried lavender bundles. After pulling back the protective covers off the storage baskets, I took in a deep breath. Temporarily contented I wait patiently.
How to make Lavender Tea
The dream of a cup of lavender tea slowly emerges from the gardens of Lavender Hill early each spring however it cannot be savoured until long-after the August harvest.

Last Lavender bundle
That’s it! I’m done. The last lavender bundle #424 was cut and hung in the drying room today, Monday August 11th 2014, at I forget exactly what time….whew!
Now the hard part begins selling it all!
I sell dried All Natural Lavender and Culinary Lavender online at my Lavender Hill Hippie ETSY shop and at local markets.
