Hi Nan,

Thanks for your kind words! I love roses also, but they are just too much work keeping them healthy. Lavender is an easy plant to care for, unless you have 10,000, and then it’s a little work We use a weed cloth called Baycor landscape fabric, it is a woven plastic that breathes and lets water through. We purchased it from OBC Northwest in Camby, OR. We are Certified Organic, and the cloth helps with controlling the weeds. It helps a ton, but we still hand weed a lot. I’ve learned to control those weeds early, before they become monsters… similar to issues in my own life, “pull them weeds out quickly”, and have more peace, and calmness
Thanks again. Be happy.
Lavender Lady

I love all your posts..I check daily for new ones! I wish I didn’t live so far away (So.Illinois) I am a rose lover, I grow many kinds of roses, I had just planted 12 English Lavenders, when I found your farm/blog site’s ! They have helped me alot! I was wondering thou…what do you use around your plants…rock, mulch, anything for weed control..ect..Weeds are my biggest problem here!
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful life,
Nan

Hi Nathan,
Thanks It’s a struggle working in our garden with such extremely magnificent views around. I find myself daydreaming, as I sit in the midst of the beauty! I wasn’t real productive today, but we all need to relax a bit Come hang with me again, through my blog post!

Hi Betty,
You can cook with any English lavender, but the only French lavender for cooking is “Provence”. We sell lavender plants at our Upick farm only. Sorry we don’t ship them, but I bet you could find nice English lavender plants at a nursery near you When I make lavender lemonade and tea I prefer to use the Signature Blend “English”, because it adds a delicate lavender flavor. Provence is much more pungent, and I like to use is in our HRL Spice Blend, Sel Gris, and our Lavender Pepper Jelly

Best to you,
Lavender Lady

What form (dried, oil, etc.) is best to order for the use of tea and lemonade?

Had lavender lemonade in Louisville, Ky. Delicious. I have always been interested in lavender and its uses. Since there are many varieties of lavender, is there just one (English) for culinary use? Also, do you sell the plants?
