Whilst undertaking a hoeing session today in an attempt to save the

home gardeners should start this campaign.



My modus operandi would be to take a team of boffins, tell them that

their winters food is growing on an allotment, to which they have access

for a couple of hours each week to maintain it. Their objective would be

to produce veggie seeds modified to display the characteristics of

garden weeds, namely the ability to survive drought, flood, being stood

on, slugs, pigeons, caterpillars, green/black fly and the like.



Each year they will be fed on the crops that the allotment produce using

the seeds they have developed - just as an incentive!



Any one want to join?
