Today was one of those perfect days. Bright, sunny, neither to hot or to cold. Blue skys worthy of a postcard. I started the day with a trip to the Vermont Wildflower Farms. I picked up most all of the flowers I wish to plant this season. I collectedd mixed yellow blossoms (more forsythia, dandelions, and some previously collected and frozen heliantus. While it simmered on the stove top, I potted up seeds in germination mix. Green cotton, two kinds of indigo, Hopi Black Sunflowers, and lupines.
I did some cleaning in the perennial beds, and noted that there were over a dozen Rhubarb plants ready to be devided. So I dug them up, saving a foot long length of root for the dye pot. I planted them in several sunny spots around the yard, so there should be pleanty to use this season.
I also purchased Walla Walla onion sets, which in addition to being delicious have fairly thick skins! Should work well.
Happy Gardening!
