I won’t mention it (rehtaew eht). I know I’m always talking about it, but I’m so dependent on what “it” does. It can’t be helped.
Woad flower
One of the many blossoms opening this week – woad. It grew from seed (Milkweed seed). I thought it would never take off last year. Yet, here is one result after this winter’s ice and snow. This is the best of the bunch, so it looks like chances are good for an abundant seed harvest (I hope).
I see lots of potential here.
It’s past the time for harvesting the leaves – should have done that last year. My plants were so small. It’s a biennial, giving good leaves one year (for the dye), flowers and seeds the next. I’m learning.
first indigo sprouts of the season
On the other hand, new indigo sprouts – just this week. They’ll need to mature a bit before transplanting into a new bed.
Consider this entry a little sprout – sometimes it’s difficult to articulate the words, in a sensible manner, for all of the life that goes around. This is a little something, but one of the many that makes the day, the week or the season…well worth the living.
