I have only one plant that survived the housemove in a pot. Despite being late in the year, I planted seeds the first week in June and hope to have a good supply of lavender for 2009. I hang it to dry for decoration, dry the leaves and flowers for pot pourri and also use it in bubble bath & shampoo. I'd like to try making soap, so may use what lavender I have to scent that.
