Growing Lavender Indoors

[claudine]

I grow lavender in my living room It's such a wonderful herb, I love its scent. I want to have a whole lavender field on my windowsill
Currently I have three plants:

Please don't look at my dirty windowsill and pots. I was too excited to clean them before taking the pictures

Claudine, how long have you been growing lavender inside? I would have imagined that it would do much better if grown outside. I have a few plants outdoors; the younger of them are flowering now. Not sure what's going on with the other two.

Bear in mind how close Claudine is to the Arctic circle, stands a better chance inside

 

[claudine]

Haha, it's not that close to the Arctic circle, although it's really cold today
ChanellG, I've been growing them for less than a week. I don't have a garden, so I have to keep all my plants indoors.

Lavender has a great smell! I have two Lavender plants next to my pond and I'll occasionally brush my hand against them just to smell it.

 

[claudine]

Haha, I do it too, I love when my fingers smell like lavender It's one of the most beautiful scents in the whole world, I can't believe I used to hate it.

Your tree lavender pots are healthy looking, and I wouldn't mind it a bit to have that scent in my house. I also love how your windowsill is big enough to hold them and still have enough space. I wish I could have more plants indoors like you!

Thank you! I want to have even more plants Next week, I'll buy heathers and wild strawberries. My boyfriend bought himself a tomato plant

That's awesome, Claudine! It seems you are truly going wild with the plants now you are living with your boyfriend That is very nice, good for you! It's also goof to know that lavender can do well indoors! I might try it myself in the future as well.

Haha, I really am My boyfriend doesn't seem to be very happy about it, but he bought me a new planter, so I guess he likes my plants too, he just doesn't show it
I hope he'll let me get rid of our TV! We rarely watch it anyway and I really need more space for my miniature roses
