EcoPrinting again ... and Wordle!
PlantePrint og NYT Wordle

This post contains hints to today's Wordle. Read at your own risk

The other day, biking home with the broom, plants and groceries, I stopped several times. Not because I needed a break (I did too) but because I spied some interesting leaves.
Next day I found my wonderful pot, two sheets of pre-mordanted, sturdy paper and some extra leaves from the garden. Among those a leaf from my Japanese maple (Which I thought I told of, but I can't find it), a red hazel leaf and a leaf from the newest arrival, the dark elder.

Da jeg cyklede hjem med kost, planter og indkøb, stoppede jeg flere gange undervejs. Ikke kun for a hvile benene, men især for at plukke nogle interessante blade.
Næste dag tog jeg så min vidunderlige gryde, nogle for-bejdsede papirer, og et par supplerende blade fra haven. Et fra min japanske ahorn (som jeg var helt sikker på at jeg havde fortalt om), et rødt hasselblad og et fra den nytilkomne mørke hyld. 

Sødskærm = Sweet cicely               
Tjørn = Hawthorn
Japansk ahorn = Japanese maple  
Vild kørvel = Cow parsley           
Ahorn  =  Maple
Rejnfan = Tansy
Mørk hyld = Dark elder
Rød hassel = Red hazel
Jordbær = Strawberry 

It was too wet, but I'm happy about the Japanese maple, less so with the dark elder.

Jeg fik gjort det for vådt, men jeg er godt tilfreds med den røde/lilla fra den japanske ahorn, og mindre tilfreds med den mørke hyld.


Inspired by Anne Nydam's comment and my answer to my Reflection post, I am going to continue solving the Wordle every day using a new word as my starter word - as I have done all of May so far - just to prove to myself that it can indeed be done with tolerable results. Pen and paper will have a work-out! Starter word divulged down below.

    1. Thank you ... and I think so much with Wordle depend on a good starter word.
