To those at Knockholt
I was talking to about Lavender? Now is the time to get out in the garden and dead head the Lender pods. After the sun and high winds they have dried a treat and come of the stem easy.
Run your fingers up the lavender stem with a cupped hand and the pods will collect in your hand. When I was a kid back in the stone age there was a game I played with Grass called Cake or candle,..........(Not that Grass) Thats how you remove the pods.

I picked a Carrier Bag full today from my garden brought the Lavender indoors placed them in trays lined with Kitchen paper and have left them on window cill,s all round my home.

I put it to you it quite overpowering through out the house and the smells wonderful.
