I forget that you can freeze herbs as well. I recently snatched a disused dehydrator from my parents' basement and I plan on using that to preserve whatever I can't use immediately.
What do you use your lavender for? So far I've used mine for...nothing. Haha! I'm honestly not sure what to do with it other than pick a few leaves and enjoy their smell.
There are all sorts of applications I would have loved to try if my plants had flowered(the rain last year, ugh), but being left with just the leaves I made a lot of tea. I also just ate them straight up because I had a bit of an infatuation with herbs from my garden healing all my woes.
I wanted to make these, however: https://thebeachhousekitchen.com/2017/03/20/lemon-lavender-shortbread-cookies/ . There are other lavender cookie recipes, but that one looked delightful. Lemon balm can apparently be added to shortbread, but I also mainly ate and steeped my lemon balm leaves last year.
I'm totally bookmarking that recipe! Also, I had no idea you could just eat them.
This is my first lavender plant to survive this long. I've always tried from seed and got nothing.
