The Calendula is one of the few plants thriving in the garden this year.
I’m finally starting to get Tansy buttons! I look forward to dyeing with these.
The flax is going gangbusters. It’s close to time to harvest!
The dye plants that survived the spring slugs are doing well: indigo, madder, and black hollyhocks. The soapwort survived the transplant. I’ve even got a secret okra plant!
I haven’t seen any frogs in a few days. I hear them singing in the woods, though. Maybe it’s mating season?

How lovely to have a dye garden. Slugs are such a pain!

I am reminded of Rosemary’s Baby every time I see tansy. LOL. I miss gardening. The only thing to survive our hellish Texas temps is a single coreopsis. It’s a beautiful golden pot of glory. The crepe myrtle and jasmine are hanging in there and actually thriving. They’re more than enough considering. I’d love to have flax. Perhaps I should give it a try next year. Be well.

Flax has been easy to grow for me,and it seems to withstand the heat well. Maybe there is a good variety for where you live?

Belated Happy Thorsday! Your dye plants and flax are beautiful!! Glad your secret okra is doing ok – hope you get some produce out of all of this 🙂

I placed an order for blue flax and discovered a scarlet! 🙂 Both are heat tolerant and grow in poor soil. Ours is clay. Is probably why the coreopsis thrives in a pot on the patio. LOL. Thanks again.

Hopefully the frogs are stuffing their faces with critters and that’s why they’ve been too busy to hang out by the pool
