Most Excellent Botanical News Guys

So if we cross the 2, we can give Sheal a unique Big but Hairy Dandelion for the Isle of Man.

 

I wouldn't if I were you Ziggy, it'll get the same treatment as the rest of them in my garden three weeks ago.

 

Not if we make you a Sheal of Special Scientific Interest

 

Scientists take note.
I just wish someone would cross a dandelion with some kind of vegitable. could then plant the dam things in the parts of the world where people are starving and 'just add water' and feed the world. now there's a thought!

 

There is already a plant that will grow in the desert, doesn't need watering & will produce seeds with a perfectly balanced food, that can also be made into a biofuel.

The governments of the world wont let you grow it though.

 

Pity. that they are incharge then. but I suppose we shouldn't get to political or we might attract attension.

 

I reckon if at least 50% of the people of the world knew at least 50% of their local species of edible plants, then nobody would be worried about food shortages for a good while yet.

 

It'll be different when Gardeners Corner is running the Country.

 

Is that flag the right way up Zigs!

 

When GC are running the place, it'll have a 3 legged Dragon with no tail on it.

 

Manx crossed Welsh then............three legs/no tail.
