Pulling flax



I pulled my modest 4x10 foot plot of flax today. I bundled it as I pulled it and then put it in the yard to dry out a bit before further processing. Here I am with my flax before I pulled it =>

Here are the bundles in my yard. I'll let them dry out a bit before moving on to the retting stage:

    Pretty bundles!
    I love the first shot - you'd never guess it was a small plot.

    Hi Adrienne!

    After pulling it all, I'm glad the plot wasn't any bigger ; )
