[Closed] incredible edible todmorden

The biggest inbred is naturally drawn to his most inbred subjects.

I bet the cafes or greengrocers wont be doing great business any more.

Well at least Tesco's advance store planners wont bother setting up an Express etc there. So theres always a silver lining 🙂

Todmorden was on brekkie Tv, missed opportunity for some free advertising from the ST guys, a few "ride pasts" holding a ST banner would have been great!

So how does it work then? (I only caught the last bit of it this morning).

it basically means we can all go around to singletrack H.Q and have free coffee and cake, well thats what ive been told anyway! 😆

Some people plan vegetables, herbs and stuff in planters or public garden areas.

Anyone can go and pick it and eat it.

I don't think most of the residents of Todmorden know what Swiss Chard is though, and think it's psychedelic celery.

Just don't go eating anything planted in roadside flower beds. There are plenty of edible plants that do a good job of pulling lead up out of the soil...

So you can get food without having to participate in growing it?????

Sure.

Well good for them, then. Some very kind-hearted and honest people in Tod' in that case.

I had assumed it was some kind of grand-scale co-operative that could be duplicated in others towns and cities but I fear it would take a pretty good community to make this work elsewhere.

I was thinking this morning....whilst watching those chickens that someone, somewhere must view them as 'ah roast dinner'

I ride through Tod quite often when training on the road bike. 'Wild' spuds and cabbages next to bus shelters occasionally come in handy if I've forgotten to bring food with me.

It is good though. Impressive.
Round here it would last 10 minutes.

Another thought was 'how do they stop dogs pissing against the planted food?!!!!

Well (I hope) where they grow my food they generally dont plant food around bus shelters etc where blokes stagger to to relieve themselves 😆

Also, should I hold in my customary trailpoo for the Tod area? 😯

Slightly OT- (although this is normal/make sense) - It didnt occur to me that people actually rode horses up Blue pig. I rode down there the other day to be greeted by two *female horse riders (*lovely lasses)

Perhaps they eat the dogs too.

Harry technically speaking Tod is your property. Are you sure you don't want to convert 'nationality'?

There's plenty of horticultural projects around our local area too. They tend to be indoors though, involve hydroponics, and if you assumed the same laissez faire attitude to ownership, you'd end up face down in the Manchester Ship Canal 😀

Saw the news article & heard the words "People in Todmorden are born with GREEN fingers"

& Thought to myself - "Hmm, sure they meant to use the word SIX there..."

😛

or WEBBED

May I be the first?

I kid you not, no I really do kid you not. A friend of a friend from Huddersfield's mentioned to me that he was dropping off his young teenager son over in Tod to 'see his girlfriend' who is also his second cousin.

You couldn't make this up, they'll even travel to keep it firmly in the family 😆

Todmorden still has a sherriff! 8)
bet they have indians in them thar hills too.( for indians read native americans)
