Planted Questions

Idle thoughts from HortWeek's features editor

Tree O'Clock: your telly tax at work   

Last Saturday morning our "Green Group" dutifully planted up three dozen trees in the hedge of our little wildlife garden as part of the BBC's Tree O'Clock world record bid. It needed doing anyway, and the trees were mostly free (courtesy of a local garden centre, who were only supposed to give out one tree per family, but found themselves with dozens unclaimed come the morning).

I have the photographic evidence and even a witness statement confirming what we did. The trouble is, I can't submit them because the email address at the BBC crashed some time yesterday and is not yet back up - and the deadline is noon today.

Whoever would have foreseen that hundreds of people submitting multi-megabyte emails all at once might create a few technical challenges?
