because it's nearing the end of the indigo season
and
i know some people are wondering how to deal with the remains of their harvest
indigrowingblue  has good tips

but
here's another
that blossomed when
a kind student came in yesterday with a big bag of late-season leaves...

    Now, that IS exciting! I wish I would have thought of it before drying a bunch, though they will go off to the northern CA composting project..

    I don't suppose you can grow indigo in the UK. have some seeds for woad though, so probably it would be useful to try this with it, when I get it grown .... again, you are so generous, India ...
