@juliette In the 1990s they dug a cable trench through the former medicinal herb garden of Mariefred Monastery. They turned the earth, put the cable down and backfilled the trench. The following year, a neat line of henbane grew on top of the cable. The seeds had been waiting for 450 years to get back to the surface. #gardening #archaeology #medieval
