Missed the dandelions but there are lots of leaves on the fruit trees and creeping bellflower, etc. <br />There was very little snow cover last winter so a lot of plants didn't show up. Miss them. <br /><br /><br /><br />Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001906772703299666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-2596417665452659642013-03-18T14:16:47.207-05:002013-03-18T14:16:47.207-05:00A wonderful colour you got from your roots :)A wonderful colour you got from your roots :)Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323971608753801676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-46114057034037597272012-06-09T05:30:24.325-05:002012-06-09T05:30:24.325-05:00you are a wonderful root puller and the orange ton...you are a wonderful root puller and the orange tones are just great.

Whe...Love the colour(s) esp. the pinker the better!<br />When you said 'cleavers' my heart skipped a beat, as we have an abundance of the one with the 'sticky' seeds on. Will that one do the same job I wonder?<br />We just call it 'sticky buds'!<br /><br />I hope you are keeping careful notes on these dyeing processes and the colours you achieve? We'll be asking questions!<br /><br />Have a great weekend,<br /><br />Sandie xxSandies' Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022362234675324965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-69996953287352161562012-06-06T18:54:54.246-05:002012-06-06T18:54:54.246-05:00I've spent much time pulling the sticky catchw...I've spent much time pulling the sticky catchweed/cleavers out of my father's garden, now I know what to do with this quick-growing plant!

I like the bitter taste and it's scent but haven't found any info on dyeing with it. After seeing your experiment maybe I should chuck it in a pot and see what happens!<br />Jxjoaniehttp://ninimakes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-58560441513806322022012-06-05T09:08:36.955-05:002012-06-05T09:08:36.955-05:00just did a little research & apparently Galium...just did a little research & apparently Galium verum grows over here ... now I'll have to look for it .....
