Its pouring with rain here, and in case it is with you, I thought I'd tell you about my dream last night. 
I was in a Bank, the sort where you deposit money, and there was a queue, in fact there were several queues, everyone patiently waiting in line to reach the Tellers behind the glass screen.
It wasn't your normal Bank, of course, and people didn't want to hand over money, or even withdraw money, oh no, that would be normal behaviour and this was a dream.
Eventually, I reached the head of the queue and the lady behind the glass screen indicated that I should put my deposit on the counter. Very carefully, I laid down a seed tray, each strip in the tray had different plants in it. In fact everyone there had plants to deposit, plants of all different sizes and types, in pots and modules.
"Have you filled in the deposit labels?" asked the Teller.
I checked, Yes, every strip of seeds had the mandatory seed label, identifying the plants and the date of deposit. They looked a bit like ice lolly sticks.
Suddenly, in one of the strips there was a movement, like a small earthquake.. A Toad's head popped out of the compost, I don't know who was more surprised, the Toad or me.
The Teller didn't mind, "We take all sorts here and he'll come in useful" she said.
As the seed tray and Toad slid under the glass screen, I woke up...................giggling.
Thinking about it now that I'm awake, its not such a daft idea - there are Seed Banks and Vaults, why not Plant Banks?
I'm going to lie down now!!
