Now there's strange.

[Potstubsdustbins]

I pass a commercial growers on the way to my work area, who's setup includes 10 or 12large poly tunnels.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago they had removed the covering from 4 of them, I presumed due to age or damage.

On my way passed today they had been recovered with..................................black polythene, totally blacking out the interior.

Now there's strange answers on a postcard please.

They're growing illegal plants and don't want anyone to know?

[veggiechicken]

Do you mean - Now There's Fungi? - Mushroom growing?

[Florence Fennel]

Rhubarb? Question, not a statement

[Samurailord]

Don't some areas force asparagus in the dark?

Greater heat build up from black plastic than clear ?

[Feral007]

Yes, but we use black plastic to solarise our weeds....not kill the veges!

[Aberdeenplotter]

stop in past and ask what the scoop is matey. Otherwise we will never know

[julesapple]

White celery or asparagus?

[Mikey]

They could be making a new mining re-enactment society, or it could be like VC suggested.

BLACK OUT POLYTHENE

[Newton]

I'm guessing mushrooms...........we have a similar mushroom farm by us..........good source of spent mushroom compost.........

Rhubarb is a good possibility too..........

[VirginVegGrower]

It's close enough for me to come and have a look

[Florence Fennel]

I know VVG, that when you've discovered the reason, you're going to say "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"

[bearded bloke]

I have a theory

With the great & ever increasing popularity of digital photography & the countless thousands of millions of digits used,the planet is beginning to run out of the freely available digits,thus there is likely to be a resurrection of old technology & these people with amazing foresight are building giant darkrooms to process all the film that will surely be used during the impending festive season

Me, Me Mister!! Please Mister (waves hand frantically).
I know the answer, Mister (jiggles up and down in seat)
I know, I know, its where Santa is storing all the presents for us, and, and (very excited now)
Its all dark so that we can't see them, and, and (squeaking with anticipation)
There's one for Meeeeeeee!!
