The Allotment

Yesterday, I went up to the Jubilee Graveyard to inspect a potential new allotment. Well, to be precise, it is one sixth of a plot, shared with other members of the Church family. It is very overgrown and will need a lot of digging to bring it back into cultivation. It is quite hard to envisage right now what it will eventually look like as a dyer's garden.

Beneath the weed cover, signs of life are stirring. There's even a clump of rhubarb, the roots and leaves of which can be used as a dye plant.
