If they are ploughed deep into the ground, they may live there for several years, and will produce a plant when turned up again by the plough or the scuffle. Mr. Hammond tells me that some years ago this field was full of Charlock, and in the early summer there would be more Charlock than wheat to be seen. This is how he got rid of it.
In Russia the small Asiatic cockroach has everywhere driven before it its great congener. In Australia the imported hive-bee is rapidly exterminating the small, stingless native bee. One species of charlock has been known to supplant another species; and so in other cases.
He told us he was out for a holiday, and saw some men hoeing in a field 'Hoeing the charlock, he said to himself; but when he came nearer he found they were hoeing turnips hoeing up the poor plants themselves, which lay dying all around; hoeing them up to let the other plants have room to grow.
The pearly, the crystalline interlude, drew to a close. She knew that in passing from it she passed into deep, accepted tragedy. The sycamores had grown so tall since she first came to live at Charlock House that the foliage made a high roof and only sparkling chinks of sky showed through. The path before her was like the narrow aisle of a cathedral. It was very dark and silent.
And she said, "Stayed, if you don't mind." Through the open window, from the fields of charlock warm in the risen sun, the faint, smooth scent came to them. Then Nicky began to cough with a queer quacking sound. Jerrold went to her, upsetting the saucer as he came. "It's his milk," she said. "He couldn't drink it." And with that she burst into tears.

It is found principally in woods and old pastures, and is in good perfection about the middle of September. CHARLOCK. Sinapis arvensis. The young plant is eaten in the spring as turnep-tops, and is considered not inferior to that vegetable.
He also mentions, as a more or less remarkable fact, "that a house, which was known to have existed for two hundred years, was pulled down, and, no sooner was the surface soil exposed to the influence of light and moisture, than it became covered with a crop of wild-mustard or charlock."

She crossed the road that, seen from Charlock House, was, with its bordering elm-trees, only a line of blotted blue. And all the time the light grew more splendid and the sun rose higher in the vast dome of the sky. She returned more slowly than she had gone.
He saw the Cotswolds round Wyck-on-the-Hill, he made you see them, as they were: the high curves of the hills, multiplied, thrown off, one after another; the squares and oblongs and vandykes and spread fans of the fields; and their many colours; grass green of the pastures, emerald green of the young wheat, white green of the barley; shining, metallic green of the turnips; the pink, the brown, the purple fallows, the sharp canary yellow of the charlock.
