By the way I will be making your southern biscuits recipe tomorrow. This recipe has become one of my kids favorite bread, I love it because I can make it from start to finish in 1 hour. I doubled the recipe and changed the recipe slightly to fit my family's taste by using 6 cups of organic hard white wheat flour, 2 cups of cold buttermilk substitute, 1 teaspoon of baking soda for the leavening , 1 cup of organic raw cane sugar, 2 teaspoons and kosher salt. 2 sticks of cubed cold unsalted butter. yields about 12-14 large biscuits. I store them in the refrigerator for the kids to eat for breakfast for a week, and heat them up to serve.

Lavender likes good drainage and doesn’t like to be too wet. Can you put it in the ground? If so, put it on the top of a mound so that it is well drained. If not, try reporting with landscaping rick’s inside the bottom of the pot for good drainage. See what your local greenhouse has to say about your growing region and lavender. It’s a tricky plant.

Lori, always enjoy your videos. Glad you were able to put up the swing, that is sweet. Your milker looks fine to me. Some animals are just lean, like people. Most that see the cows on tv are over fed and and laden with hormones and steroids. Like a balloon ready to pop. I took horticulture in high school. I looked up a very basic lavender care plan.. aka what troubles my lavender plant true enough, this is what most common problems are with house plants. First is overwatering and the second is bad soil. Dirt is soil with out nutrients. Plants breathe through the soil. Watering them suffocates them. Better to let them dry out till they start to wilt a bit. You will know that , and is time to water. And yes the soil will be dry. Good to look up what king of fertilizer they need and be able to add that to the water. For people that live in the city, allow your water to sit overnight. It allows the chlorine to dissipate . Not sure about the type of soil for lavender plants. Sometimes soil just needs to be changed out if it has been in the pot for years. Lighting is important to. Low light plants do not do well in high light or direct sunlight. The opposite is the same for high light plants in low light. Hope this helps. God’s blessings on your family!

Lori, sweetheart you are precious!! You need to "deadhead" the lavender. When the bloom begins to wilt back, you pinch off the deadhead. With that many I'd just use snippers or sizzors. As it gets long branches, just cut them and put in some water and start another one. It naturally spreads if in the ground and will keep coming back, it really doesn't do as well in pots. Also you need to check your iron girl! You use a 14k gold ring, and "draw" a line across your forehead. If you see a black line, you need iron. My grandma would say "you lookn ruddy and jah gots dark eyes leme check ya iron" she'd pull off her gold wedding band grandpa gave her and drag it across my forehead and she was right EVERY SINGLE TIME! I thought it was just her ring, so after i had taken a iron pill for a few times. I had her do it again, there wasn't any line at all!! Also, its darker like a sharpie marker when you're really low.. lighter means its low but not bad, so don't take too much iron. She was the best Dr. I ever had. 😘
