I’m hoping to start some lavender when we get to our new homestead. You had such a good explanation. I like it in coffee and lemonade. I also want to make lavender wands.
Lavender really is so easy…and so beneficial! It has trouble growing some places…but it does great here where we are at. See, lemonade, never would have thought to put it in lemonade.
I never picture it in coffee or lemonade, but I'm going to try. I just harvested mine and want to make tea and body oil.
I’m finally growing lavender 😆 my third time trying. It was dying at first, but now it’s thriving!
I totally agree with the feeling of making your garden a sanctuary, to just relax and enjoy the fragrances, colors and the calmness of your surroundings.
Thanks for sharing how you harvest your Lavender. I love gardening , it's the best form of meditation!
Lavender honey ice cream and creams and solid perfumes! So many things to do with it 😁
Absolutely beautiful!!! If I could live in a bed of lavender I would! ☺️Thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome!
Use it for essential oils and making soap decoration and potpourri. I just love lavender. Just started growing it and got my first seven bunches.
I use lavender for skin care, teas, cbd oils, bath salts, massage candles, and soaps. I love lavender 🥰
Isn’t it fantastic! We would love to have fields and fields of it!
Thanks for sharing. They thrive on neglect and I love it.
Loved your lavender video didn't realize there was so many uses loved your male quail crowing near end of video blessings from Northern Ireland
Thank you kindly! Don’t the quails have a beautiful crow? It’s kind of exotic.
@@4KidsandaFarm Yeah it's a really piercing sound
This got me so excited haha I’m in love with lavender. One of my bad videos thank you so much!
Hmm I love cooking with it but would love to make skin care prooducts
Thanks for this informative video. I am hoping for a fully bloomed Lavender plant next year. As i have just learnt to harvest and trim lavender here.
I will say this too. I like you. You are pretty and seems easy going.
Best of luck! and Thank You!
What a great video! I had no idea it had so many uses! Thank You for sharing!
Your welcome Linda! We always enjoy your comments.
I like making sachets and wands. Also like having vases throughout the house.
Lavender plants are so pretty! I would love to grow some ☺️
They are so easy and beautiful to grow…as long as you can keep them somewhat dry.
I agree, there's a sense of peace being in the garden. It's my Zen. I'm going to attempt making lavender syrup and lotion this year. My lavender has grown enough that I'll have a good harvest. 🙏
Beautiful! Nice settings for videos. U brighten up my day! 🙀
A beautiful video.... I bought some from Lowe’s but it died. Are there certain lavenders more suited for certain parts of the country? I sure would like to grow some. Iam in east TN. Do you have a suggestion of what kind I should try?
If so where to buy it. Thanks so much. !!
God bless !!!!
I love to use it to make bark chocolates and also for my cocktails and baking
Cocktails, baking? Boy I have been alone too long!
Your place is looking so nice, love the lavender.
Thanks! It is such a cool, beautiful, aromatic plant!
Very beautiful & informative video!
I love lavender plants, and I am growing my first one which has already bloomed. So gorgeous to see it in my yard now, but I also would love a bouquet of it in the house.
I have two questions… does the plant grows more flowers after you harvest it, or that’s it for the season?
And if I want a bouquet of it in my house, should I use them fresh right away, or should I dry them first?
Thank you!
Great video! I really appreciate it.
Well thank you, and we are so glad!
That was a great video!
I dry herbs quite often and didn't think of the rubber bands...Duh...Thank you :)
Oh, such a simple solution right! So glad it was helpful!
Great information. Thank you. Hoping to have my herb beds set up to start next year. I want to try my hand at making my own tea mixes.
That sounds fantastic! Lavender adds that lovely calming effect to tea. We really should grow much much more!
Oh, no! I knew I over watered it, and it’s Tennessee, so it rains a lot. Thanks for the info! 😊
I just love your video thank 🙇
What about bugs, their poop, dust? Love to hear when you get your lavender soap! Sounds fun! Pygmy goats,(Nigerian dwarf)? I'm too old but I would LOVE to try that!
How young can you start harvesting? I planted a bought, new plant this year, and I do have blooms, but I didn't know if I should wait until next year? Mine are so much smaller than yours.
I'm really happy to watch your video, I hope you will grow and create for the benefit of all our compatriots with love. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Great info, Thank you!❤
Very good! Thank you
the aroma for bathrooms
attempted to grow some from seed and i failed =( I think I got it too wet and it didn't sprout. so sad, would have loved to have harvested mine alongside you.
We have heard lavender is extremely hard to start from seed.
Hi to be honest, lavender is one of the most difficult plant to grow from seeds. They are finicky and they are slow grower, but maybe if you put the seeds in the ground, it may do better.
So if I have French lavander i can’t use it for any purposes? Such as any of the mentioned.
I hang it over the bed to help sleep ❤
How often are you able to harvest?
I just can’t get it to grow here but I guess it’s ok bc I’m allergic to it. 😂
Oh no! That is an odd allergy…so sorry!
@@4KidsandaFarm I’m allergic to most flowers. Lavender is just one of the worst offenders. I love it though.
What does Doug get you on Valentine’s Day?
@@4KidsandaFarm Not flowers. 😂
What kind of lavender is this? What kinds of lavender can be used for culinary use?
This is not lavander, we call this lavandin
@@ana-91-11 Oh okay. Well the title says how to harvest dry and use lavender, so I safely assumed it was lavender. What is lavadin?
@@poppunkpizza so 😅, i was searching and this is the name i found: Lavandula intermedia. It's lavander but not "original" , this one is much bigger and flowers are not so purple.
Lavender is from the Middle East so of course the three kinds are English, Spanish, and French.
Decolonize when?
It just be easier to braid a few of them together to make a bundle 😂😂
Is that a correct phrase.. hippie is a word dork
Flees repellent on a garden
You are wasting rubber bands.. you can easily braid some into a bundle that big and have hung it on the nail.. doesn't even have to be braided very much just 3 or 4 twist that's it.. as it dries it will become more sturdy and stay together..
Rubber bands ARE reusable...even if you break it you can tie it back together...over and over again 😂
