They sort of send their roots underneath the ground and they're slowly popping up further and further north and retreating from the south because of global warming.
And if you speeded it up, it would be like in a day, all the trees just got up and marched towards the Arctic, right?
Isn't that exciting?
Trees have got, and they have mother trees that will feed, they send out, so if any tree is attacked by insects, they will send out under, through the root and mycelic network underneath, they will alert all the other trees that are being attacked by insects and suddenly the trees will produce a poison in their leaves that's very bitter that will kill the insects.
Do you grow cannabis in your garden?
I'm just asking.
my dad as a hippie had partaken of many things during the 60s and then in the 90s he got cut off from his supplies but he'd read somewhere that if you take a coleus plant which is like a sort of indoor plant that you'll see everywhere if you grow them outside and crush up a certain kind of arthritis medicine and spray them with it it will make them very potent and you'll get very very high so i went to his house once and he was like right we're reaping this today we're going to crop this i've grown it we're going to go for it um and he cut all the leaves off the plant and then we were driving to wales to visit the caravan and he just put them all on the back seat of the car
And he was like, it'll be hot enough for them to dry out and they'll be smokeable by the time we get to Wales.
So we drive all the way from Wolverhampton to Wales with this backseat covered in leaves.
We get there.
The sun has not dried out the leaves to the consistency of tea by the time we get there.
But we still dutifully roll them up and smoke them around a campfire.
And absolutely nothing happens.
Any cosmonauts out there want to know if you can get high on a coleus, you cannot get high on a coleus.
Do not go down to the garden centre this weekend and think you're going to get high.
It's not going to happen.
So it's the sister podcast, you know, Dish with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett.
So we're the sister podcast of that.
So ostensibly everybody's on to talk about food, but it immediately just turns into a gossipy thing.
So with us, it's people talking about, so just people talking about their childhood gardens.
