Swiss farmers planted flowers between their crops and watched pest damage drop by over half. The UK is now running the same trial across 15 farms. The reason this works is embarrassingly simple. A Swiss study on winter wheat found that fields with wildflower strips had 40 to 53% fewer leaf beetle pests than fields without. Crop damage dropped 61%. The mechanism is simple. Wildflowers feed hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and ground beetles. Those insects eat the aphids, beetle larvae, and caterpillars that farmers would otherwise spray for. A few meters of wildflowers hosts an unpaid pest control crew that would jump at the chance to whoop some aphid ass. In apple orchards where no insecticides had been used for five years, plots with wildflower alleyways had 9.2% damaged fruit. Control plots without flowers had 32.5%. The UK is now running a five-year trial across 15 farms placing 6-meter flower strips through the middle of fields, not just at the edges, because the beneficial insects can't reach the center of a large field otherwise. This works the same way in a backyard vegetable garden as it does on a commercial farm. Plant native flowering species near your tomatoes, beans, and squash. The pests still show up, but the predators show up too. Study doi: 20151369

@Glastomichelle Heal fast 🙏🏼🫶🏻

I’ve been a bit quiet lately. After a lot of pain for a year that became intolerable and totally unpredictable, I had my gallbladder removal operation yesterday. I kept it to myself because I was so nervous about everything, the drive, checking in, the anaesthetic… it all felt massive! I’m really relieved it’s over now. Thank you to everyone who enjoys my posts, your support means more than you know. I’m going to rest up for a few days and let a bit of that Avalon healing magic do its work, but in the meantime, here is a photo from the other day. I can’t wait to get back out there capturing Glastonbury’s beautiful scenes. It might be drone ones for a week or two until I am fit to climb the hill. Appreciate you all so much. More updates soon!

@DailyPicTheme2 My favourite because we nearly lost her to cancer this time last year. We were in Northumberland when she fell ill, so she missed all the beaches there. Happy to be on the beach in Nth Yorks. 🫶🏻

@andrewswalks Love a gate pic! This one is Castleton. It leads you around the back of the castle through a deep cutting. A favourite when we stay there. #peakdistrict

I don't understand why no one wants to come on a 2 hour hike with me. I promise those 5 hours will be the most fun 8 hours of your life. 😆
