Owing to me not being able to type, I've only had p*ss-taking replies to my previous post
:
OK, guys, what is growing in the PURPLE fields in Lincolnshire, and possibly other counties at the moment, please?
Alcazar, (who has checked this one for typos.)

Crumbs. With the already bizarre yellow fields from growing rape, the English countryside will be looking more and more like that drawn and coloured in at the start of Rainbow!

Is that last comment serious?
I thought linseed flowered blue, and earlier than this? This stuff is decidedly purple in colour.
Flax, I suppose it could be? But is there a market for that these days? This farmer had 3 whole fields of it.......and Lincolnshire farmers are nearly as tight fisted as Yorkies!:

Anorak on 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.
