THE host of a British radio gardening program apologised yesterday for unwittingly giving a caller advice on how to grow marijuana.

Frieda Morrison, who co-hosts Beechgrove Potting Shed on the BBC's Radio Scotland, said she had thought the caller was discussing cabbages.

Morrison and fellow host Jim McColl spent more than three minutes explaining which compost to use and how to water the plant, which the caller referred to as Northern Lights - a very strong variety of marijuana that shares a name with a variety of cabbage.

Speaking on BBC Scotland's Good Morning Scotland program yesterday, Morrison apologised for the error.

"We thought the caller had said cabbages and if you look it up on the Internet there is a variety called the Northern Lights," she said.
