Lavender

My tips for growing lavender:
Dig out a little island in the sea of weeds you call a yard. Buy 3 varieties of lavender in 3" containers. Plant them too close together. Get pregnant during the summer and nap instead of watering your lavender. Fret that you've killed the lavender while your husband grumbles about that big dead spot where you planted it. Notice some green when it starts to rain again. Continue ignoring it anyway. Notice with amazement two years after you planted it and ignored it that your lavender is doing extremely well and has reached 20 times its size at purchase. Put lavender in vases all over the house, possibly increasing relaxation through aromatherapy which may lead to more plant neglect.

Seriously guys, I have a LOT of lavender. Does anyone need a sachet? Dried lavender? Lavender salt?
