Luscious Lavender

This aromatic herb is one of my all-time fave plants! Did you know that lavender naturally repels ants and small rodents? Plant some English lavender (more winter hardy) near the house and let it works it's magic! It grows in poor, dry soil as long as it has lots of sun.

 Besides its wonderful organic pest control properties, lavender flowers are easy to harvest, dry and hand in little sachets in closets as natural air-fresheners.
