...from the summer diary
Harvested lavender from sixteen bushes today. Still plenty to go. Apart from hanging bunches of dried lavender around the house I am hoping to make some lavender bags this year for our guests. It is still pretty hot but there are gusty winds today...Last night we heard a family of boar all around the main house, rustling and feeding in the dark.
Yes, I have heard of lavender sorbet in Australia. I believe it works if based on lemon, otherwise it would taste soapy. There is a flourishing local production of lavender for cosmetic purposes (around Castellina you can see the hilly lavender fields) but I haven't heard of anyone trying lavender in food. Maybe at La Petraia?
