2008
Overview
While the children take off with the plastic trays for some \"frost sledging\", [Brian Moffat] points at the growing area. \"It likes shelter and here it has drainage on the slope where it grows.\" Sir Robert Sibbald, co-founder of the Royal College of Physicians and the Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh, recorded its use by Highlanders \"in times of dearth and scarcity\" in the 1690s and dubbed the plant Herba Scotica Miraculosa. Moffat has traced entries as far back as the Ancient Britons, where consumption of the heath pea (also called karemyle or wood pea) enabled the Highlanders to \"travel and toil\". \"I would say this plant is four years old,\" he says. We look at the tiny bean in awe. Soon, to our great excitement, we find an even bigger one. \"I bet there'll be at least 30 in here,\" says Moffat with satisfaction.
