WIPW: Lavender Update
It has been two weeks since I first hung the lavender to dry. And while I have been checking on it regularly it looks like some drying has been happening since day one.
Day 1
Now about 14 days later you can see some of the dryness has set in. Another couple weeks or so is clearly needed but its good to see that the drying is working.
The stems are getting darker, and I can tell that if they weren’t so tightly tied to begin with that they may have started to fall off of the bundles. Part of the reason the instruction recommend rubber bands is to keep that from happening.
Even the sun drying pile is showing some change though not nearly as much. The humidity is likely keeping it from its one week schedule. Most of the dryness that I can tell happened is in the flower buds. So I will soon have a large pile of dried lavender.
