Seriously! The people who got homemade gifts from me were SOOO appreciative. We gave out pickles, jam, home-roasted coffee, bread, eggs, honey, and something else that I'm forgetting at this minute. I think people really like these kind of gifts because they're things that they actually will use.

I really want to grow enough lavendar to make those bouquets.
I have some, but I really don't pay that much attention to them. They grow well and do their thing but I need to pay more attention to when I should cut them back.
