A green-fingered Exmouth pensioner was left shocked after she was informed by a gardening programme that she had grown a five-foot-tall cannabis plant. Patricia Hewitson spotted a new species of plant growing in her garden and called BBC Radio Devon's gardening programme for help identifying it. And after receiving the information that the mystery weed, grown from bird seed, was cannabis police were informed and involved. Mrs Hewitson, who sent a photograph of the plant to “The Potting Shed”, said she had received some "interesting" emails after asking for help.
