Please say no to pesticides and herbicides. Cocktails of these chemicals in fields, gardens, parks, verges, community spaces are poisoning wildlife including bees, birds, hedgehogs, butterflies, beetles, frogs, damselflies, and polluting our rivers. Let's give nature a chance 🐝

Happy with my home grown potatoes harvested today. I didn't think they would work at this time of year. Red duke of yorks and pentland javelin, planted in september.

More than 4 out of 10 insect species face extinction. Others are declining badly. We can help in our gardens and community spaces by not being too tidy, planting nectar-rich flowers & trees, and not using weedkillers and pesticides. More: bit.ly/2FCEJYz

I never posted much on the 'other platform' this feels so different, more accepting, more welcoming, less hateful and judgemental. I hope it stays like this. I aim to post more...gardening, nature, cooking related I imagine..oh and athletics! A random mix of my introverted life.
