@sarah_mnstr So cool!!!

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@sarah_mnstr hey quick question, can you remember how many species of bee you’d seen at the boxes pre Covid? Was it around 30? 😁

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@sarah_mnstr Oh yeah!!! Wow 😁😁😁

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@sarah_mnstr Omg really?! What’s the species named?? 🐝

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@BeerNouveau @boxnumberten @MCRHopProject @skyblue1967 Amazing! I was hoping to pop down for a pint later anyway so I’ll see you later 😁

@ChoelCartwright @boxnumberten They must have thought they were doing us a favour as admittedly it did need weeding, just been too stressed/busy to do it. All of the perennials were coming back and it had taken so many years to get them to where they were. 😑

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@cu1turesponge @boxnumberten @ChoelCartwright Gutted. I grew those beautiful dahlias from seed, they were unique! Hopefully the tubers are in the compost bin! If I can find them do you want some for your garden? 🙂

[boxnumberten @boxnumberten]

Seems somebody decided to dig over box 10. Might have looked unkempt but they’ve destroyed a 7/8 year old gorgeous dahlia, all of my cardoons, fennel, sorrel, lovage, salad bernet and more. Beyond fuming.

@BeerNouveau @elizabeth_madge Whole of New Islington Marina has been worse than that for months now 😑

[TheJollyAngler @TheJollyAngler]

🧵 Well it’s the last week for the @TheJollyAngler 😢 We do want to have some farewell drinks (not in the Jolly obvs) when things are open and we can all mix again so if you want to join us then continue to follow here and we’ll let you know what the plan is. It would be fab to

@JonConnorLyons @LucyMPowell @patkarney Cheers for your support. The pub will allegedly be demolished so the billionaire owner of BooHoo can build flats. So where do we go from here exactly?

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@McrBuilds @LucyMPowell @patkarney @JonConnorLyons Or just don’t show any interest at all, as per usual. Cheers guys! 👏

[NQ Growboxes @NQGrowboxes]

@McrBuilds Hey @LucyMPowell @patkarney @JonConnorLyons check this out! Another part of the city’s heritage set to be sadly lost forever.
