Lavender - the most over rated herb on this planet.

[Curvaceous Kate]

thats a dreadful thing to call the bf. Speaking of lamb I love lamb chops and lamb kebabs. Just throwing that out there unashamedly.

I bet you shout out 'mint sauce' when driving past frolicking little lambs in fields too!!! (I'd never do such a thing).

Cool I have a bf

Mint is incredibly easy to grow. You have to contain it though, as it will take over your garden if you put it in the ground. You need an old sink or something like that to put it in.

Get your green fingers working Westie.

Thats my whole point. Its dreadful smelling stuff. Relaxing? It makes me suicidal ffs and before all you people go sending my lavender , I dont want it. Ill send you dogshit in return.

Im growing a lavendar field in reverse, by taking samples like you have and putting them back in the ground, lots and lots and lots of them.

Make something with your life he said, well I did, a lavendar field.

I like the smell, but not the taste. I ate some in a fritter once, and it tasted like a mouthful of perfume!

I'm with you on that one and the smell can be too intense, so it has to be just a little used or you have to evacuate.

Being relaxed is different to de-stressing. When someone dies it is stressful if you care about them and you often question your own mortality etc.

Lavender is relaxing, in the sense of providing comfort for sleep. I have a cuddly lamb that you can heat up and it has lavender in it and I hug him at night (yes it is a boy lamb) and he smiles with his cute little face and I can smell the mild scent and close my eyes and enter into blissful sleep.

Alas he is not with me on tour and I miss him and am not sleeping so well. I'll have him back in my arms again on Saturday!!!

p.s. Are you sure your friend was not giving you heather?

Girls are made of sugar and spice

And all things nice.

Boys are made of slugs and snails

And puppy dogs' tails

Or so it would seem anyway.

its really a trap, I mean invite for you.

[Curvaceous Kate]

Yes, I've overdosed and had to evacuate before!

There are loads of wild flowers that are more palatable though and less, well, floral, tasting. I make great dandelion, nettle and ginger wine!

I used to like mint and nettle tea, but I had an intolerance test done and it said I was intolerant to nettle would you believe!!! So I'm on pure mint now
