    Pat...lavender sachets were very popular when I was young but I don't see many for sale now.

    Sorry Busyl, we crossed there. I don’t use it in food, although I don’t use any insecticides near the rows, so it would be safe to eat. I have tried it in cheese, etc, elsewhere, but I haven’t tried any recipes myself.

    Joyce, ive also sewn bags which I fill with lavender and market as a “sleep pillow insert”. I did sell quite a few orignally, but not everyone wants to try things like that.

    Hi all.

    Finally got some sleep, but feel wretched.

    At least my only plans for the day, are sofa, 6N and beer, so I should be able to manage that.

    Used to have a lot of panic attacks, it was how my depression was first diagnosed, but last nights was the first for a while.

    I am fascinated by all this Turmeric stuff, I think I might do a little research.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

  • Morning all grey old day here and the rain has stopped. All my compost arrived yesterday so will sow a few seeds late,

    I lover lavender and grow quite a lot, for the bees and in the house.

    That's it coffee cup is empty time to get back to work, I hope you feel better soon Punkdoc enjoy the rugby.

    Have a nice day everyone.

    My 2 English sons and 2 French sons in law are all going up to Paris to watch Ireland/France. They'll stay in a hotel and go back home, all live in France, tomorrow. I rarely watch rugby, mystery to me. Son 1 was very keen but was injured too often, knee ops, and had to give up. Met his wife when coaching a girls team at Uni, in France.

    Hmmm Dove that ice cream sounds yummy. Do you use the lavender while it’s still flowering or after theyve dried?
