Way back last summer, katmom suggested that we save our lavendar clippings (stems) to bundle for firestarters. What a wonderful idea! I had guests ask me what smelled so good OUTSIDE as they arrived at our house.
We have had a burning ban due to bad air conditions, but it was recently lifted, so we will be enjoying Grace's idea for the rest of the winter.
Thanks Grace!!

I still have a couple sacks full of last years cuttings(last cuttings for the season) and yes, I love using them in the fire pit.
So glad you are enjoying it too!

That was a great idea...and good inside also, if you have a wood-burning fireplace.
