I would like to know if anyone here knows if fresh indigo leaves (or
weld leaves) can be dried or frozen or if they have to be used
immediately after picking? Maybe this should be posted on the other
forum?? A book called A Dyers Garden by Rita Buchanan says on page
44 ,last paragraph, that one mustn't freeze them but must use them
right away. Somewhere else I read that they used to make balls of
the weld leaves that were dried or something like that? Anyway, I
was wondering if anyone here might know about this or not. I am
kind of interested in growing it but not if I have to use it right
away and can't freeze or dry it somehow.
