Watch out what plants you buy at a car boot sale

BBC News - Bedford couple unwittingly grow cannabis

[veggiechicken]

I saw that article too Wonder what size it was when they bought it?

[Alison]

Amazing that it thrived to that extent considering the weather this year.

[cardiffsteve]

I thought "these" plants need warmth and lots of light.
How did they manage to grow it that big in the UK, outside?

[alldigging]

Yeah I did wonder if it was something different to have grown that well outside.

I have heard of people growing tomatoes being bothered by the police thinking it was cannabis.

[Mikey]

I saw that article too Wonder what size it was when they bought it?

It was probably about an ounce or two when they bought it.

[VirginVegGrower]

Did they ask for a pot plant?

[Mikey]

Ha ha, I think thats classic VVG.... I can see it now,

'have you got any pot plants dear',

Certainly do, I've got just what you're looking for over here (wink). Really soothes the aching joints so it does.

'Ooh, lovely, can I make an infusion with it then?'

'Tea, cakes, you name it love, its very versatile'.

[areia]

i thought you were allowed to grow 'hemp' plants, ( i had one growing quite happily from bird seeds ) from what i can gather its hit and miss on whether you get a male or female plant anyways, so no doubt it was small when they got it, there are so many differnt varities im sure its hard to tell differance at early stages

still tiz funny bless em

[ancee]

I wonder what they thought it was that they were growing? I also wonder who noticed what it was and tattled on them?!

[kirsty b]

That story did make me chuckle...heard the plod had a good laugh over it too!

[Mikey]

I'm sure I read that the police had put it on their twitter feed. Is it me, who follows the police?

Are you following me sir

Yes,

I'm arresting you on suspicion of stalking, you do not have to say anything......

[veggiechicken]

"Stalking" is very appropriate when you are a plant, Mikey
Plant :-
Anyone assigned to behave as a member of the public during a covert operation (as in a police investigation).
A person, placed amongst an audience, whose role is to cause confusion, laughter etc.

[Mikey]

I thought many perennial plants preferred staking, rather than stalking?

[darcyvuqua]

i looked into buying one of these plants but the prices were to 'high'
