@jackwallington Please would you send them over to eat the slugs in my garden?!

There’s a pair of fledgling blackbirds playing in our herb bed with their mum who is feeding them slugs

@StaceySolomon You are an absolute delight to watch!

Thank you for all of you lovely messages about the first new episode of #SortYourLifeOut I absolutely LOVE making he show & genuinely enjoy the process & fall in love with each & every family we meet. So it means a lot to see all of your kind, positive words about the show 🥹🖤

@LukePollard As someone who used to work in the horticulture industry, I'm outraged that no one is talking about the fact we have fantastic, UK-grown seasonal #vegetables. This was raised at the @NFUtweets conference. What happened to seasonal eating? Our #British #growers are world leading!

You know you the Government has run out of road when this is the best they can come up with...

@JMBecologist Not me!

Wondering if there are any academic ecologists out there who have *not* authored a paper on bees

How has 2022 been for you? gifs only.

Finally we have the Kunming-Montreal moment for #Nature! By 2030: 30% land, freshwater, ocean protected 30% of degraded ecosystems restored 30B$ financial resources A historical Global Biodiversity Framework to Halt & Reverse Nature Loss #NaturePositive

Had a lovely crisp stroll around @NTBaddesley this morning, and not another soul in sight!

I was lucky to spend yesterday with The National Forest Company seeing some of the woodland management work they deliver & #SevernTrent funds. Tree & hedgerow planting, veteranisation of #trees, opening up rides & planting flower margins. Great for humans and nature alike!

#Nature can deliver an estimated 37% of the solution to keeping temperature increases below 2°C. However only c.2% of investment is currently directed towards nature-based solutions... #CASummit2022

🌱 Rain gardens in Enfield still looking spectacular! (Reminder of importance👉A rain garden is a section of landscaping that acts as sustainable drainage. It helps reduce flooding and remove contaminants from the run off of the rainwater).

@KeyGeorgina Recipe?

In this world of uncertainty, and, quite frankley, madness, it is very reassuring to go to the #allotment and pick my own beautiful #vegetables

@thevalleyfarmer Courgette and ginger jam! It's so good

@KeyGeorgina Impressive. What the plan with the courgettes?

This is so good. Man wakes up and it is 250 years later.

@leeinthelakes Although your tweet is full of sadness (you have my empathy), it has sparked a wonderful thread of replies from lovely people. These sorts of things restore my faith in humans

This is a thread on the impact of price changes we were expecting as a result of government policy, Brexit and Covid before the war with Ukraine, plus those we’re now getting because of it. Stick with it. Everyone’s going to be hit hard by what the government is letting happen….

@tintodog @chandlerfarming @BBCNews @MPGeorgeEustice @NFUtweets Probably not. We do use something like 78% of human waste in the form of biosolids. It used to be nearer 86%. Good source of phosphate

@chandlerfarming @BBCNews @MPGeorgeEustice @NFUtweets Is this including human waste from sewage works?

Did I just here this right on @BBCNews : @MPGeorgeEustice saying there is enough organic manures in the form of fym, slurry and digestate to displace all the mineral fertiliser in the UK!!!! So we needn't worry. #astonishing @NFUtweets

@johnreadman11 @TheAHDB The world certainly seems to be making it difficult! I don't know the answer I'm afraid, my focus us on the fertilisers...

@TheAHDB @KeyGeorgina Contractor has had 2 quotes for diesel. £1.27 and another at £1.37, at what level does producing food become uneconomic?
