In the spring I planted a small tansy plant in the garden, never realising how big it might grow. Now it's early autumn and the plant is taller than me and threatening to take over the flower bed. I really only planted it for embroidery purposes.
I've also been reading that dyeing with tansy can produce a beautiful earthy yellow, so I'll try that when more flower heads appear on the plant.
Imagine a garden planted specifically for embroidery and dyeing? I'm intrigued by this idea and am going to start doing some research. Have you planted anything in particular for these purposes?

Hope you've had a lovely weekend. We've had family staying, wood stacking, friends visiting, kids playing music and coffee brewing. Not bad at all.
