The quince has the prettiest buds of all our fruit trees (and those downy leaves!)
Also showing off right now- the earliest rhodies
And Big Apple
All this springy weather has me thinking I’d like to get a dye day planned sometime soon. Maybe in May. I’m thinking gaywool shades, and maybe, just maybe, an indigo vat?
Stand by for color therapy 🙂
Also, just going to leave this here, in case y’all missed it- Ryan Holliday’s lecture on Wisdom cancelled by the US Naval Academy (my alma mater) this week. Their loss is everyone’s gain, as he decided to record it anyway and share online.
I will have to look at our quince buds. Tom says our pear tree, which produced no pears last year, is covered in little bitty pears. I miss having pears to eat. Your big apple tree looks amazing! I am looking forward to your dyeing. I haven’t dyed with indigo myself yet and mean to. Those dyes look amazing.
i just love seeing those tiny little pears early in the season. Hope they make it to maturity!
Your fruit trees look wonderful Denise.
I have never seen those dyes before. Are they acid dyes….must look those up!
Thanks Jody- yep acid dyes https://gaywool.com/gaywool-originals.html They are really easy to use and offer nice color range.
