It's been a lovely summer for the lavender this year. It has been teeming with bees and I'm happy to encourage them. I love the scent and find it very relaxing in the room - I put the dried flowers in a pot pourri (is that the right word?) anyway a bowl of lavender in a room smells lovely.
When do you cut your lavender back and how far do you go? I'm wary of being too brutal with it. also, is now the time to take cuttings?
Didn't do much gardening when I was working so most is new to me.

lavender can promote sleep, it's a good herb. Very useful.
