Lovely and Useful Lavender

Ah, Lavender. Is there anything that can delight the senses as much as this plant does?

I can fully understand why it’s been cultivated and used by humans for thousands of years.

Still, to this day, even in our modern world, where man made artificial scents are sold practically everywhere and are in practically every household product, this superb specimen still reigns supreme.

Personally, and this is purely my opinion, I don’t purchase anything like “Febreze” or “Airwick” as I don’t think they can compare to the natural scent of Lavender. Really, these products are not likely good for our health. It seems that they are just another product that the chemical company’s sell trying to make a buck by making us sick by breathing in unnatural products that we don’t really need. And really, they want to sell these products REALLY badly, since I don’t think a day goes by that I’m not subjected to a commercial of some kind with Febreze in it.

Just picture in your mind all the advertising people on Madison Avenue, thinking up ways to enlighten us common folk to the fact that we need to spray artificial scents in our homes, and how it’s seemingly going to make our life better, what a joke!!

The mute button on the remote is worth it’s weight in gold, that’s for sure!

That’s my rant for the day! ; )

So, a few sachets of lavender will last up to 5 years until having to be replaced.

I throw a muslin bag in my dryer, keep one under my pillow, and other places throughout the house! Works like a charm…

Happy Gardening!
