That's Roman wormwood -- that's pigweed -- that's sorrel -- that's piper-grass -- have at him, chop him up, turn his roots upward to the sun, don't let him have a fibre in the shade, if you do he'll turn himself t' other side up and be as green as a leek in two days. A leek has overrun whole districts, and will prove very troublesome, but it was imported as a favour by a French vessel. There must be half a mile of fluff over it in this weather, but it does not affect The Leek. |
