Grow your own coke
July 30th, 2007That got your attention eh?
I think it’s about time I blogged the current results of an experiment I’ve been running.
When Sarah decided to grow tomatoes and peppers I saw sceptical. Would tomato plants really produce something edible, or even survive, on a windowsill in Edinburgh? I figured as the plants were between 25-99p each there wasn’t much to lose.
After the plants started to grow I thought there might actually be something in this growing your own food lark so I decided to have a crack at it. The difference was that instead of faffing around growing ‘ingredient’ type plants I’ve gone for end products. That’s plants that give you a full meal. Even more, I’m growing a drink! The best thing about this is that you can grow brand name products!
Here’s the proof:
This is growing well, I’m not sure what magic technique Coke uses to turn the green stuff into the liquid but as Coke is black I’m guessing some kind of burning is needed.
Again, I’m very hopeful with this one. Sainsbury’s does a mean canned CTM so hopefully I’ll have a viable food source.
The Jelly Belly bean plant was sadly lost to high wind but I’m still please with the results so far. Obviously I’m keeping some the details secret for now but once my patent’s through watch out!
