farming wonders

oak leaf lettuce on it's second crop.first i picked leaves as they grew, then when only the top ones were left i cut the plant and left the stalk.

it grows back!!  ( ･ω･)ﾉ so you can have more

 than one crop per plant which in the bigger scheme of things it is 

cost effective

mixed baby salad leaves and a lemongrass plant i was lucky to score. already made thai curry.

dyeing to exhaustion

mind the spelling  and  enjoy the pun.

had always left over dye that went down the drain but after becoming aware of how scarce resourcea really are i am trying to do my share.

all the red has been collected just a bit of the yellow is left. time so start a new batch,but waiting to get fresh materials.

i have an understanding of the chemistry at a layperson's level,mind you,therefore i have better judgement.it is not an exercise in oh look! pretty! making. age is a wonderful luxury.
