I still have some seeds that I'm planning to plant anywhere soon. I've heard that they are not so easy to grow! But I'll give it a try. I hope it works and then I can start using your method to grow some more :) Great post! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, you are going on a mission! I have never started lavender from seed, always have gone the cutting route. Definitely interested to hear how that projects turns out! You are the tropics too, right? Lavender loves to be well drained, but I am always up for a challenge, for I have grown a lot of plants here that people said I wouldn't be able too. You just got to find each cultivar's groove 😊 Good luck!!
Thank you! Yep we live in tropical Cambodia, SE-Asia. Do you live in Idaho or the tropics too? Have never seen any lavender here :( so starting from cuttings will be a bit difficult... will see how it turns out! The first mission was finding decent potting soil for seedlings... soil in the garden is the clay-like... mission accomplished... found a garden center (well something that looks like it) that has decent soil.... now I have to ask my friend to come with his tuk-tuk and pick some up! Hopefully, I have some lavender, strawberry, kiwi, and veggie seedling to show in a few weeks! hehe.
Oh, how lovely, I love the tropics, and I bet Cambodia is gorgeous! My husband is Hawaiian and I love his homeland. We live in Northern Idaho and our growing season is super short and full of extremes. If you have a lot of clay you can use sand and elevate the lavender if it isn't doing well in the potting soil/native soil, and I so love that you have to use a tuk-tuk to pick it up! Awesome! I hope everything grows fantastically for you!!!
Thank you so much for the tip! It is so different growing here compared to Europe... re-learning how to grow my own food! But that's the fun of it!
