I'm so following this. Nice work! I started my woad seeds indoors this year and I think I wrecked them. They get super leggy and I'm going to have to restart. My madder plants did well though!
@@alessandramonteriggioni815 I found it very easy! It takes a bit to get started when I started them indoors. I'm hardening them now so I can get them in the ground outside soon. I'm aware I started them too late in the season.
Recently, I purchased GreenStalk vertical planters. I am going to try a bottom tier or two with woad next season since after checking with my local USDA it’s ok. I have been wanting to get into natural dyeing. Thanks for enabling!
Yeah the woad police don't allow it in my state, even tho my state is mostly weeds anyways, I guess because it doesn't poke you than that weeds not welcome in my state NM, but I got seeds anyways, and going to plant them since my state wants to defund the police, guess in the future won't have to worry about police aka government bothering me from planting what I wish. The NM Government love their tumble weeds.
What beautiful rich verdant growth! Yes, it is very exciting!
I got very lucky with super ideal growing conditions - and lots of diligence in weeding away other plants!
Another plant you plucked as a WEED was white man's foot. Bandage plant. Its edible as young leaf. Larger leafs are good for field dressing.

Did you find madder an easy plant to grow? Did you start it indoor as well?

You'll have to give me tips! My hope is to start them next year so I can be dyeing with madder in 2022!

Ooooooh! Fascinating! How deep do the vertical planters go?
Country woad, that we growwwww, in the place, we call hoooome, Dye forever! Fading Never! In my kingdom, country woad.... (Beware of bards with puns)
Hahahah, love it!
I appreciate this. 💙🎶
I wonder if this would work in an upside down hanging tomato planter?
clover helps the soil.
Is Woad the same as comfrey?
No, comfrey is a different plant indigenous to Asia.
🙏🔥🐻
The sour clover is delicious in salads and good vitamin C. How dare you 😂🤣
