Question

Well, not actually the fields, you understand, but what's growing in them:
What is it? My part of Lincolnshire is full of it at the moment.

Did we ever get to the bottom of this? Maybe they are growing new puples for some revolutionary eye treatment?

Question

I don't think it's lavender, wrong colour, wrong shaped plants, and NO smell.

Putting on my anorak.(Also posted on other puRple thread) FLAX

"It has been grown in large quantities in the alluvial soils of Lincolnshire and in the eastern counties, and flourishes well in Ireland."

"The seed, which must be kept dry, as damp injures it, is sown in March or April, in drills, 70 lb. to the acre, on land carefully prepared and freed from weeds by ploughing. The crop itself must be handweeded, or the roots, being surface rooted, will be injured. It should be reaped in August, before the seed is fully ripe."

There is a big field of purple stuff to the right of the A120 just before Marks Tey.I will ask at the garden centre just up the road from it.
