Ah! Your lavender harvest is beyond glorious! I would so love to know what cultivar that is? It looks like one of the lovely French varieties like Grosso. It also looks like you are going to have plenty of fragrant buds for all of your lavender crafting desires:)
One of my favorite lavender things that I make is a bath tea. I get oversize tea bags and put whole organic powdered milk, colloidal oatmeal, Epsom salt, lavender essential oil, and my lavender buds in the tea bag, seal it, and throw it in a hot bath for a soak of champions. Sometimes I steep it and add the steeped water too, it just depends on my mood, lol. Your bath tea reference reminded me of that:)
Thanks for sharing all that lavender loveliness!
I wish I could tell you for sure which kind it is, but unfortunately me being silly back in the day when I planted them I did not pay much attention to it. I could maybe try to find the pots they came in and see if they still have a sticker with some information. I was never successful to grow lavender from seeds and therefore bought seedlings. It does look a lot like grosso, but then I tried to look at many pictures of different varieties and I am unsure.
Oh my goodness! That sounds absolutely wonderful! Must feel great to take such bath! I wonder if I can get empty teabags here, might have to order from abroad, but that gives me a lot of ideas for different herbal tea mixtures too. Another alternative perhaps could be making little bags from linen to put the bath mixture in there, maybe that could be even reusable. So cool!
Aww thank you so much for your awesome comment Kat! hugs
Lol! I don’t think that’s silly at all! Sometimes I’m so caught up in the moment of planting or transplanting things that I forget about record keeping.
I know people who use linen and unbleached cotton bags for their bath teas, I can’t wait to hear about your future bath tea experiments with some of that glorious lavender!
Hugs right back at you:)
