Did our green fingers garden story fool you?

DID you think you've got green fingers and you're still wondering where to buy that camera featured in last week's Sunday Mirror to detect them...

Well, it's time for us to come clean and confess the story was an April Fool's Day hoax.

Gardening fans may have been expecting to catch a first glimpse of the camera - supposedly developed to detect the pigment Chloroverti Digis - at the Gardeners' World Live show this summer.

But even though the camera doesn't exist, you will still be able to pick up plenty of tips at Gardeners' World Live, at the NEC in Birmingham from June 13 to 17.

And if you hadn't also spotted it, Dr Mark Porter's Symptom of the Week in last Sunday's Personal magazine was a spoof too.

He told readers how short-sighted motorists were now being offered prescription windscreens - from a firm called URA Fool Ltd.
