Great Dixter Mystery
Is this what I think it is???
http://www.geocities.com/still_natalie/mypage.html Had a great afternoon at Christopher Lloyds garden. Managed to come away with only one new plant Cyperus vegetus which was all over the gardens. Also bought one of his books which was pre-signed.:-) Natalie |

Probably wants a bit O string!-) If its hemp as opposed to a cultivar grown for its narcotic purposes then what the hey!-) Nice leaf shape;-) // Jim |

I can remember (30 odd years ago) when it was grown as a dot plant in Bristol City Council bedding and the seed was available in Dobies catalogue. I grew some one year but had no idea of what to do with it otherwise! Perhaps Christo feeds wild birds! That would be my excuse! Pam in Bristol |

Hemp is not.. Yes its the same plant (Genus and species) but properly grown for hemp its nigh on impossible to get stoned on.. It doesn't have enough of the active ingredient.. Seed is not illegal. Plants have to be proved that you are growing them for 'production or processing' IIRC. 'Possession' is illegal which is why the allotments officer had to hand them into the police. If he'd just left them there then he wouldn't have had the same problem, eg he wouldn't have been 'in possession'.. I would suspect that as a 'council officer' and on TV he probably did the 'right' thing tho;-) Hehe. I am surprised that the Horticultural Officer from Bristol council didn't point out the 2 different uses of this plant. As for the 'fast response team' quip.. Is it me or could I hear a lot of laughter in Monty's tone when he said that! LOL... Probably just a bit of stray birdseed anyway!-) Suits Christo's sense of humour if you ask me.... // Jim |
