  • The World Gone Mad

    Our local residents organisation has a stall at a local "event" & has been informed that we are not allowed to sell tomato plants (grown by Madderbat)as they are "edible"? Our residents chairperson is going to take no notice & sell them anyway. Who would want to eat a tomato plant?

    The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.

                      I think someone has misinterpreted the rules (maybe a tad over-zealous?). You have to be very careful when selling "prepared" foodstuff and edibles such as cakes, jams, preserves etc as you probably need to prove what's in it, where it was made, and whether or not the maker holds a food hygiene certificate, but I've never heard of any restrictions on selling home-grown plants (except cannabis, SORRY LJ)
