Thanks!
I have some 'lavender vera' seeds left over from my first attempt at growing it two years ago--got totally demolished by slugs when I sowed them outside in pots, so I gave up. I'm ready for a second attempt, though, spurred on by my sweet tooth. 'Lavender vera' sounds like it must be true lavender, but the packet doesn't say augustifolia. Is it the same thing do you think?
Didn't know lavender was good for savoury recipes too (I only know of cake and shortbread recipes) , so will have to persuade the chef to give it a go. (Division of labout: I grow, he cooks, I bake.)
All best,
Melanie
