	As an expert horticulturist, I have taken delivery of mustard and cress seeds. Remembering from school that we grew them on blotting paper (I think), and I have read that you can grow them on damp flannel. Now, I have several pairs of interlock underpinnings which are no longer suitable for their original purpose. I have decided to cut off the elastic and worn out bits and try growing y seeds on them. Watch this space for news of my drawers!

	Yes but you have to keep wetting your drawers. folded kitchen paper on a tray works.

	:-D :-D :-D :-D But if you can answer the question: 'Where did you grow this mustard and cress" with "In my knickers" - there's an instant talking point - or way to get rid of a visitor :-D :-D :-D

	But they were already wet They're looking a bit seedy now too.

	How about planting them in a slightly padded bra? It would hold the water much better than knickers :-D

	I haven't got any cress seed, or I suppose I could try growing it in a slightly padded bra. I have draw fulls of various sizes. Problem is, I have absolutely no idea which will fit me when 'release' time comes. I'm not putting on weight,but the excess flesh appears to be redistributing itself :-S :-S

	And the finest cat bed in the world is made of a takeaway box, a pair of wet knickers , some seeds and a bit of newspaper.

	What about the Knackerseed experiment. A "mangarden" perhaps?

	"They were tattered, they were torn, round the ar...." no perhaps not.

	Getting quite thick and bushy now. I will be able to cut them soon.
