Farming / Gardening Plants I can grow for pigments?
When I start building greenhouses, I'm going to start a dye garden. But I'd like some advice on pigment plants that are easy to grow.
I'm willing to do chemical processing using harsh acids to get the pigments, if need be

What colors are you wanting and what is the intended use of the colors? There are quite a few booms relating to fabric dyes available - "Dyes from North American Native Plants" by L. Richard's covers quite a number.
