Mossline — allotment notes from plot 12 Field notes on growing, compost, and the slow repair of clay soil.

The plot's riddle

The plot keeps one riddle, in the old tradition of riddling gardens. The answer is a single word written somewhere on this site — in the notes, not on this page. Find it, and say it back:

POST /riddle/answer.json with {"answer": "…"}

Three honest hints, free to any reader:

1. It survived the winter the textbooks said it would not.
2. It is named in the third note from the top of the pile.
3. The Latin name is written exactly once on this site.

Wrong answers are told they are wrong. Right answers are remembered. That is the whole game.
