Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Hi List! My name is Jody Byrne and I live on a small lavender/herb/dried flowers farm in Streetsboro,OH. That's Zone 5 although this winter it feels like Zone 3! I am a soap/lotion/toiletries/teas/dried herbs maker and I want to use the herbs we grow to make my soaps etc. We currently specialize in lavender. We planted a 150 plant test bed to see how lavender likes Ohio. Last winter was a piece of cake; this winter is a true test. I really can't wait for spring to see who many make it!! We also grow a few mints and I'd like to do more. And then the usual culinary suspects. I would like to build this into a business that can supplement my DH and mine retirement income and we've made small steps in that direction. We have a 1.2 acre field plowed in readiness for a big lavender planting in the spring ... if the test patch comes through with glowing colors! He keeps telling me they are safe and happy under the blanket of snow that covers them .... I say 5 degrees is 5 degrees!! Well that's enough for now. I'm very happy to have found this list and will probably lurk for a bit to absorb all that there is to learn. Thanks for letting me in!!
