GARDEN THIEVES The typical kitchen garden had light walls, to provide excellent support for fruit trees and also valuable protection against both animals and thieves. Sometimes, to prevent stealing, drastic measures were used. The tops of the walls were smeared with an indelible mixture of red ocher and grease.

DICKON’S COTTAGE GARDEN

The secret garden was not the only one Dickon worked in. Round the cottage on the moor there was a piece of ground enclosed by a low wall of rough stones.
