Spud - something strange

[gilgamesh]

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).

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?

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