Garden Work

Fruit trees are done! Woot! Big Apple got off easy this year- no big cuts. Just the standard deadwood, thinning and shaping.

and after a couple years of transition, the fig has successfully transformed from a tree to a multi-stem shrub, which will hopefully result in a better breba crop of figs.

Also prepping garden beds- compost, weeding, cleaning up perennials, and planting potatoes and leeks!

Where garden meets wool work: dye plants! I dug up the madder that I started from seed a couple years ago and harvested the roots-

There weren’t as much as I would have hoped, but I needed to make space for veg, so times up for the madder plants. Will make for some fun dyeing later on this summer 🙂

Still working on the rainbow band. Will maybe have pics next week.

Take care, folks and be good to each other-
