Good read and very true, but I would try to cut 1/4” above that dotted line leaving some green.

There's a job you need to do to your lavender in the next few weeks, and if you get it wrong, or skip it, you'll lose the plant to a woody, split, straggly mess that never really comes back.

Here's the timing that trips people up. Lavender wants its big prune right after it finishes blooming, and for most of us that window is late summer, right about now. Wait too long and you run into a different problem, because cutting lavender too close to cold weather leaves it vulnerable, so this stretch is the sweet spot. Do nothing at all and the plant goes woody on its own, at which point pruning can't save it.

But here's the part that makes people nervous and hold back. There's exactly one cut that ruins lavender, and it's the one timid gardeners make without realizing. Lavender turns woody at its base faster than you'd ever expect, and if your pruners drop below a certain point on the stem, you're left with bare stubs that produce nothing. No coming back from that.

The good news is the plant tells you exactly where to cut. There's a clear line where this year's new growth meets the older wood, and it's visible once you know to look. Land above it and your lavender bounces back fragrant, bushy, and loaded with blooms next year. Land below it and you've done real damage.

Get this one cut right this month and you'll have gorgeous lavender for years instead of a tired woody shrub you end up ripping out.

I laid out exactly where to cut and when. It's all in the first comment.

💜🇺🇸half way there on harvest. 🇺🇸💜

Here’s a few pictures of how we dry the bundles to make them straight!!
We use a few horse panels hanging from the ceiling, rubber bands and paper clips…..works great for us…

check out the difference in color between fresh and dried bundles……..They will hold that color blue for years if kept out of the sun. Also, if you leave a dried bundle alone for a few days….. then pick it up and try to smell it……..it won’t smell…..😳
A very light SQUEEZE will release a bit of oil and bring back the scent you want……try it!!!

💜We will have fresh bundles daily at the farm stand for short time.

Hope to see ya soon!!

💜These kiddos were great at helping harvest some Lavender today. Hailey found the bee hive and Adrean claimed he held the most bundles for the picture. Think I could’ve held more but wasn’t fast enough. He grabbed them all. 😂💜

Lavender is known for its beauty, fragrance and calming properties. It also grows well in rugged conditions. Those are all reasons why a couple in St. Johnsbury thought it would be the perfect plant to grow at their hillside home.
