Thanks for asking, Marty! The kind of lavender I grow is called Phenomenal Lavender. This variety is cold-hardy, keeping its color in the Winter months, and handles heat and humidity well. If your lavender flowers in the first season after planting, I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to harvest it in the first Fall. Your yield might not be as great, if the plants are still young, but treat them well and by the second year the plants will grow nice and full!

Marilyn, You can’t use just any lavender for cooking. You will need to use a culinary lavender which would be any Angustifolia variety.

It took ages last year to harvest it but this sounds so quick I am going to try it. Love lavender. I’ve heard you can use it to flavour biscuits as well so will try that too. Thank you so much for making a boring chore a lot quicker and with the added smell! mmmmmmmmm!

You’re welcome Barb! It almost seems too easy, right? Our entire home was scented with Lavender too — just ask my very patient husband — so I really don’t think it lost any of its scent. Let me know if you try this!

Thank you for the idea,
Barb 🙂
