Bit of a garden tidy up and found some of love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena) seed heads full of germinating seeds. New year. New life. 🌱

Safeguarding global crop diversity is vitally important @GlobalSeedVault but so is cookie diversity. Please @Oreo let @McVities dark chocolate Hobnobs into your vault https://t.co/xPk6Nxdok9 😂🌾🍪

@AlisonRBentley @OrmanBeata Farewell tradition of put more stuff in the office 😂

Excellent final G&B talk by @AlisonRBentley covering 12+ years of work and progress in UK #wheat🌾 Final message (paraphrasing) #teamwork makes the #dream work. Lots of Mexican themed virtual zoom backgrounds, including @GIAradottir and @Tomplantpath in a mariachi band 😂

Fantastic opportunity for an iCASE PhD studying barley yellow dwarf virus in wheat @Rothamsted @BristolUni with application into wheat breeding @ragtseedsuk. Guaranteed some excellent supervision (and some ramblings from myself)

In honour of #NationalPoetryDay, here's my work 🌾:
I study and research wheat,
It is good to eat,
It grows in farmers' fields,
I'm trying to increase yields,
And that would be pretty neat.
