This week all the wooden framework has been removed from the garden and the path has been relaid with tarmac.
Although it is a shame to lose the sitting area, there is now more space to grow plants.
And perhaps some new seating could be found from somewhere.
Colour extracted from tea leaves:
green tea, redbush, black, nettle fennel & peppermint, orange peel cloves and cinnamon
It’s time to start seed sewing for the dye garden.
Coreopsis seed is started in a warm incubator.
Germination can take several weeks so fingers crossed.
The flower heads can be harvested for colour in the yellow – terracotta range.
