Are Beans the Answer to Everything?
🕒 Weds 3 May, 7-9.30pm 📍 @UniofExeter
Hear from Josiah Meldrum how Hodmedod emerged from a community project, aiming to show what farming & dietary change might look like for the UK. https://t.co/qtnMXC1UwW #lovepulses

How apt - that Exeter Uni - where I used to lecture, is hosting at talk by Josiah of Hodmedods 'are beans the answer to everything?' - an Exeter food event.

Yes, they are the answer of course.

And at Exeter Uni - where I used to lecture - and yes, of course, beans ARE the answer to everything.

A solitary green-winged orchid flowering in my wild flower meadow; a small field behind our house that I've maintained as a WFM for 20 yrs. The flowers DO return - even if it takes a while.

@seeorganic Would be delighted to talk to your group. The zoom talks seem to be well received. I've msg'ed you.

Another v. enjoyable evening talking to a local gardening society & hopefully persuading them to grow & eat more beans.

I'm reminded how veg growing traditions are slow to change. From my anthropology & education background, traditions, culture & processes of change interest me

[Adam Alexander @vegoutwithadam]

Thanks Sue and @taylorcherry14 and all the wonderful volunteers who made it such a fab event. The tea and cakes were awesome too 😋

[Susan Young @growing_beans]

Very enjoyable evening talking with @Norfolkorganic - lots of interesting questions and discussion. Thank you for the invite.

Off to help at the Monmouth Seed Swap in aid of Heritage Seed Library @HeritageSeedsUK Who doesn't love a seed swap?

Lots of beans packeted up @2000m2Weltacker

And NO, I definitely don't need any more seeds . . . but there again . . .

[Susan Young @growing_beans]

@Saralimback Where? Where? If it's local to you, it's local to me too.

[Susan Young @growing_beans]

@Steph_Hafferty aha! - do I spot the plastic containers that often have grapes or similar in them - being used as covers? What a good use for them.

@NurseryWorld You have been asked not to tweet this photo Nursery World - by the mothers of children in the photo. Yet you still do.

@LivTorc @SeedSov @UKGrainlab @OGAgrowers @Hodmedods @GaiaFoundation I'll look on FB - thanks.

Yes, please do film, as listening to you read it enhances the experience of the poem.
