Since I’ve been doing a bit with the garden this year, I’ve decided to document it to remember, especially the dye flowers.
This time I’ve edited a teeny bit, unlike my last garden photo session. And I had a “helper” who thought it was a great service that I’d lie down on the lawn to relax together.

Q – How fun to see two plants in my garden are also in yours; the marigolds and the funny, pink-speared one.

So lovely, thank you Pia. Do you dye with borage flowers or borage root? Love those Gem marigolds…
I miss my kitty very much as studio and gardening companion.

Well no, that never occurred to me! You’d need A LOT of flowers and they seem to go so fast, and the roots just look white. I’ve kept their number down a bit this year, as I eventually want to use this space for something else, but I plan on introducing them elsewhere, so maybe I’ll give it a go.

Your dye garden is looking so much more colourful than mine, I’m envious. Mine was new this year and we had problems with seeds not germinating a in the weird weather – I’ve no coreopsis and only two marigold plants – but I still have plenty to work with 🙂

Oh I never thought I’d get anything with the cold spring. French marigold germinates real quick, you can still get a packet of seeds and make some. I dyed a skein yesterday with one variety and it’s AMAZING!

Thanks – and yes, he does help me relax, in fact forces me to. 😉 Probably not a bad thing. His favourite is if I’m sick, then he gets to sleep on my tummy aaaall day, with a paw round my neck.

ahh that’s so sweet, I remember when I had cats how sensetive they were to how I was feeling, sorry about the double comment but my first comment didn’t show so I thought it hadn’t gone through, Frances

thanks Pia, it happened on 2 other blogs as well, I occasionally find a comment from a ‘real’ blogger in spam even though they have perhaps commented on my blog many times before, Frances
