Not sure where to post this, so I'll just put it here.
Walking up the lane with my kids this afternoon, I noticed huge clumps of scarlet pimpernel, which I've always adored. Much as I was tempted to grub up big handfuls for my garden, I restricted myself to admiring them in situ, came home and had a quick Google for scarlet pimpernel seeds. I somehow ended up at this website:

I am not about to take up witchcraft and replace my broad beans with monkshood and wolfsbane, but I have to admit that this person seems to have a tremendous knowledge of the folklore attached to plants and quite clearly loves gardening. Definitely a witch in the original sense of the word.
Explore and enjoy! |

Oh these dear humans.
I thought to myself, what next, Biblical seeds?
Low and behold, I regretted googling it

Biblical seeds... You'd have thought with all that "Garden of Eden" business, they'd have come up with something better than nettles and a bunch of grass! |
