BBC gardening team advise cannabis caller

Police are investigating after BBC gardening experts gave a man advice when he asked about growing cannabis.

Jim McColl and his team on Radio Scotland's Beech Grove Potting Shed misheard the caller and thought he asked about cabbage.

Experts spent more than three minutes telling him which compost to use and how to feed and water, says the Daily Record.

Then the host of the show, Frieda Morrison, told him: "OK, much success then. Keep going."

Morrison said they thought they were giving advice on growing cabbage because the caller spoke about a strain called Northern Lights - the name of a cabbage but also a variety of cannabis.

The weekly Radio Scotland phone-in invites listeners to "come in from the garden, take off your wellies and relax for an hour every Sunday".

Strathclyde Police said they were looking into the incident and had contacted Radio Scotland. They are involved because the phone-in was broadcast from Glasgow. Tayside Police were also planning to investigate, because the caller said he came from Perth
