What is your favourite size of book? E.g. paperback size, cook book size - which would you rather pick up and read

Does anyone happen to have started or run a coop business or used shares for funding? I'm hoping for some advice on expanding out my gardening business in one of these ways potentially.

When we first moved in I imagined having only white foxgloves, to be classy, but the foxgloves told me I was wrong and I listened.

Potatoes and chamomile crops doing well. The chamomile was three or so plants swamped by other crops and wildflowers last year, well established now with minimal input from me.

I’ve had one of those productive-unproductive weeks where I’ve made lots of progress in my head and not enough tangibly. Met some amazing people this week, had some wonderful conversations 💞 I’m excited about next week.

We know the solutions to everything but are incapable of implementing them - lots of people say humans will never change but I believe we can, we have to, we can’t just sacrifice nature with apathy

Short back and sides making sense of the wilderness. Dreamy midsummer mornings this week.

It’s been a much more positive year for insects so far, hopefully it will continue, it is much needed after successive years of declines 💞

1) Communities must suggest where large development (renewables, housing etc) should go in their area, otherwise they will happen where they might not want. One key line in the response to this petition is...

Leaving national infrastructure as important as renewable energy up to developers and corporates to choose locations is in my opinion gross incompetence by Government ministers and shows they lack the skills to conduct due diligence. Here's why: www.jackwallington.com/why-the-uk-n...

Government response to the petition to 'ban wind farms on peatland' - I didn't expect them to, but the response demonstrates ministers are not conducting due diligence when it comes to national infrastructure projects, instead leaving up to developers to decide petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Earlier in the year this was all Pulmonaria and daffodils, and before that, snowdrops.

I like this area, I enjoy succession of layers through the seasons. It feels like our garden changes everyday as a new leaf or flower opens, bringing new textures and colour. This spot will look totally different by the end of summer, largely because there are some huge perennials hiding in here.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Bottom trawling tears up fragile seabed habitats & harms the life that depends on them. Today’s UK Government decision to ban it in 40+ Marine Protected Areas offers hope: a chance to let our seas recover & life return. 🌊 Let's see Marine Protected Areas live up to their name.

Download Google Earth, go to View > Historical Data and zoom in on the farmland of Gaza. From the north down it has been ploughed and bulldozed. You can see the tracks. Here is one area in the middle of Gaza through 2024.

Google Earth has just released satellite imagery of Gaza December - we're familiar with seeing destroyed buildings, but the thing that strikes me is how much farmland there is producing food for the population, and how that is gone. Replaced with tracks through the soil. Nov 23 vs Dec 24.

Anyone else hearing too much “recycle and reuse” and not enough “56 companies cause over 50%” of plastic pollution?

I can’t get over how many flowers there suddenly are 😲💞🌱 Buttercups proving extremely useful for wildlife and colour, while also highlighting gaps for other plants.
