It's the stranger than fiction story of a cannabis raid and fire that is unlikely to make the next omnibus of goings-on in Ambridge.

Police have found more than £400,000 of cannabis in an industrial unit in the village that inspired The Archers - which then mysteriously caught fire days later.

Officers from West Mercia Police wearing riot gear smashed in the doors of a building on the B4090 Saltway in Hanbury, Worcestershire earlier this week using chainsaws and battering rams.

I too can kill mint.

I tend to grow chillies. Very easy to grow.

Had a go with tomatoes once but the plant grew like a triffid and never fruited. Apparently you can't go on holiday if you have the variety that needs constant vigilance for side shoots that need pinching out.

I bet the bees and wasps ain't too pleased either!

It's ok, they haven't woken up yet.

Courgettes.

Miss one & it turns into a marrow.

I spent some of last year demolishing the courgette part of next door's garden, it was Termination With Extreme Prejudice.

Plus I was fed up with cutting back the brambles twice a year.

The lawn extension I intended for that area never happened so I'll have to dig it over again this spring & move some of the gooseberry bushes & do the job properly this time.

Not any more: the parents' garden, dug & planted for 95 years is now grass, and I've just chopped down the apple & pear trees since no one wanted the fruit and I was fed up with picking up windfalls.

The jackdaws are very upset.

The apple tree looked lovely in flower.

We’ve got a cider maker in the next town that gets ours. We get a few free bottles in return.

Darn right. I remember the missus planting some once and it started spreading over the lawn.

Maybe Milly Beans is right, we should start preparing for the coming apocolypse.

I grow my mint in a pot like you are advised to.

At one point I did have chives taking over but lots of pulling out they are gone.
