indigofestation
although it hurt my heart to do it, we returned to our old apartment this morning, clippers and brown kraft paper bags in hand, to harvest seeds from the indigo and flax plants.
the indigo is flowering, as you can see. it's maybe a little younger than i might have liked to take it, and i know the building's owner (and the new tenant, who are actually the same person) wouldn't mind; but frankly, it was still sad for me and i wanted to get it over with. i still think i'll get plenty of viable seed.
the flowering japanese indigo is so beautiful. i hope we get plenty of it here at the new house.
