While googling for something unrelated, I fell down an internet rabbit hole and found this fascinating article from English Heritage:

Evidently I had better not try to grow "gourds" (I think Pliny meant melons?) as they would be killed by my femininity!
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile
