You speak for yourself. I'm entirely normal - I've just asked my imaginary friends, and they all say so! I do compost potato haulms - I'm always short of green materials, but they are composted by being added to the lower levels of the dustbins that next years cucurbits will be grown in, along with a couple of bags of rabbit/hen bedding & muck, then topped off with this year's tomato compost. There's not much space in our "home" garden, so I don't actually grow spuds there, few people around us grow anything more than lawns, shrubs, barbies and "features" - even two doors away who have apple trees just let the fruit fall off & rot (annoying when our bunnies would adore nibbling them).
Sumer is a coming in....

You could be soo very right, Phil  ;D

Another thought, I am sure up north these wee seed containers used to be called "love apples", I wonder whey when they are so toxic?
Equality isn't everyone being the same, equality is recognising that being different is normal.

Could be analogous to the "Glasgow Kiss" which conveys something softer and cuddlier than it is!!
