How I arrived on Bluesky

Leaving the first flush of #aphids as a food source for the larvae of natural aphid predators such hoverflies, ladybirds, lacewings & parasitic wasps, is an excellent form of natural #pestcontrol. The more beneficial insects you start your season with, the better, so leave that leaf litter alone!

Tell me true, what are you? Because you ain’t a slug, & I only do hoverflies, aphids, wasps & slugs.

Tickets are still available - I've just ordered two for my mum. Nick Gates' brilliant #SaveOurWildIsles is being shown after #OneLastFarm, & there's a discussion at the end. Should be a great opportunity to network & share ideas. Have a brilliant time, if you're going! #YewTreeFarm #BristolFarm

If you have migrated here from X but not deleted your account there, unfollowing the verified accounts (#blueticks) you follow there might help defund the hate … and is satisfying #BoycottPremium

If you discover a hibernating bumblebee while digging in your garden or allotment this winter, try to avoid disturbing her, and loosely re-cover her so she can hit the snooze button until spring. More advice from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social at www.bumblebeeconservation.org #SaveTheBees #nature 🐝

Please consider leaving dead plants in your garden over the winter, rather than ‘tidying’ them up. It’s an easy way to help wildlife! Hollow stems provide homes for hibernating insects, such as lacewings and ladybirds, and birds will feed on the seeds of teasels, sunflowers and thistles.

Note To Self: so, change of plan this year. No farting around with needy veg, no experimental crops, no growing onions from seed because it's scoop my own eyeballs out boring...& absolutely no nasturtium seed collecting. They do not taste like capers - they taste god-awful.

Glad to see now I’m back in the UK I might be able to find amazing slugs here as well

A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. These amazing pollinating insects are being hit hard by widespread habitat loss. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝 #SaveTheBees #nature

❗❗Highly toxic #ethyleneglycol, the main ingredient in #Antifreeze, tastes sweet, & is highly attractive to pets & wildlife such as #foxes, #hedgehogs & #birds. #Carrion feeders & #predators are also at risk of secondary poisoning. Please lock away your chemicals, & clear up spillages. 🦊🦔🐈‍🐶🐁🐀🦅🐓🦡🌱💚
