Harvesting lavender as the sun rises! We are growing a few types of lavender around ...
... the food forest, this is the “English Lavender.” We are also growing “French Lavender.” We will infuse the lavender into MCT carrier oil as shown in previous appics posts. It smells soooooo good! I’m a huge fan of the essential oils/terpenes in lavender. This will make a lovely infused oil for body lotions and moisturizers. Growing perennial herbs like this amongst the fruit trees is just one layer of the edible food forest!! #dfood! :) It’s a gorgeous Sunday morning here in Southern Utah and a great day for working with the Earth! Have a beautiful day in your part of the world... appics community and steem blockchain! We appreciate ALL of you! -Jake and the Raw Utah family

Hi Jake, how are u doing ... wow .. that's amazing. I like lavender flowers. This flower is very fragrant. Very good you plant lavender. Fragrant flowers can repel mosquitoes. You can enjoy everything in your food forest, Jake. Rvery time I saw the forest, my heart became peaceful and serene. Have a nice day, Jake.
thank you my friend. :) you are the second person on this post to mention lavender helping with mosquitos. i'm so fascinated as i have never tried that! i will be now! enjoy your day my friend..and thanks again for your kind comment.

thanks @riverflows :) good luck with your new lavender babies! yah..i noticed the code. it's an @appics post. sometimes the code shows on other front ends like steemit, or steempeak. no code viewable though....on the appics DAPP itself. sorry about that....i'm sure it's something they are working on.
How gorgeous!
I'm finding out quickly how much we lack flowering plants in our food forest. Make a spring video tour soon :)
will do bro! video coming soon! yah man...those perennial flowering herbs speckled around your trees...makes total sense. loving your forest bro...and your expressions....of JOY...your are feeling within! i can't tell you how much it means to me to read your words and see the images you share. the post on why don't churches have gardens/food forests....is sooooo good! thank you for all you share brother! please keep the vids and post coming too! :))
I've got a recent favorite corner that's way too densely planted, but it makes me happy. Tomatillo, peach tree, comfrey, beans, borage, kale, and something else I'm forgetting all within like six square feet lol idk how it ended up that way, but it's working, so I'm letting it go. Wanna see what happens.

Hello @rawutah, today you are displaying lavender plants in your food forest. in Indonesia lavender is made into a lot of lations to resist mosquito bites. I also really like the smell myself.

Yes, my friend. it looks like you have to try it.

I remember having Lavendar based products near by for my daughter when she was a baby! She still loves the smell today!
Great win today with the Gold Foil Cards!
