To Dye For || Episode 1: Tall Goldenrod

[@jeffmcrae8987]

That’s really cool! I didn’t know you can make dye from Goldenrod. I look forward to your future videos on dye making. Funny story about goldenrod. A couple years ago I noticed that when walking my dogs, one of them would eat the leaves off of only one plant. I’m used to dogs eating random vegetation, so I didn’t think anything of it at first, but then I noticed that she only ate this one leaf. So I used leaf snap to identify it, and it was goldenrod. After looking into it, I came to find out that goldenrod is an ancient medicinal herb, and is sold as a supplement. How my dog knew that it was good for her, I’m not sure. I can only assume she’s been reading my copies of men’s health magazine when I’m not looking.

I find the idea of your dog using her paw to flip through your men's health magazine very funny haha. But, I've so many dyes planned :)

Really digging the goldenrod dye. Perfect color for the outdoors.

This was meant to be! Lol 😂 I went to pick up a native seed and plant order just yesterday and someone gave be 3 free seed packets. One was goldenrod! I was literally wondering what I might do with it and didn't even have a chance to research, when your video was recommended by YT. Maybe they heard me talking about it, when I got the seeds. Magic or spying 😅 I posted in my video the other day that I was interested in testing out plant based dyes...like maybe using my blue potatoes or red beets to stain paper or fabrics. This looks so fun! Great video 😊

It was destiny! (definitely not KZbin spying on you) haha. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope your seeds sprout nicely!! :)
