The drawing was made from some grass growing wild near our home in the Napa Valley. There are parts of our property that we devote to gardening, and very soon in this process a crisis arises: do you pull out the wild things that infringe on the growing space you have given to persimmons, rhubarb, tomatoes, figs, raspberries, currants, and the like? Being a very eccentric gardener, I don’t pull out the wild things except in extremis. I theorize that there should be room for all of us. I let everything grow until something that I have planted is being choked out—then, even the natives will be pulled! —Henry Evans
