Do you have lots of lavender to harvest to make lavender bags / pillows ? I put mine in my food processor. The flowers fall off easily. Don't overdo it - the stems just need to be chopped a little then they can be sieved out. This method is also great for harvesting lavender seed too. The seed is left behind in the bowl after a quick shake.

Wow :!: That is such a great tip. I have so much lavender and find it just so laborious to do much with it.
I shall try this for sure. Many thanks. Imagine the nice smelling cakes you will mix up in it later... :lol: Seriously, a good one to try.

P.S How is the frog situation now?

Thanks for asking. I heard one frog croaking behind the waterfall today but I haven't seen one for ages. At least I now have one which is better than none !
