Really important survey on Neurodiversity in Farming by @FarmersWeekly - fill it in if you can! I really believe that farming attracts neurodiverse folks - eg constant plate-spining is an ADHD super power https://t.co/UNt28iPOnb

I have to say, I do enjoy a spam email starting "Good day to you". Makes me feel like there are scammers sitting around in tweed and caps, and smoking pipes

I'm updating a book from 2013 for a new exciting edition, and have had to delete the phrase 'phone book' I casually mentioned in a paragraph back then. Does anyone under the age of 30 even know what a phone book is/was??! #immediateobsolesence #historyoficons

“I’m planting a haycorn, so that it can grow up into an oak tree,” said Piglet. “It’s a very difficult thing, planting, unless you know how to do it,” and he put the acorn in the hole he had made, and covered it up with earth, and jumped on it. ~A.A.Milne

Tactical weeding: hoeing amongst the squashes, pulling out all fat hen & would rather have almost anything else - except the pernicious couch grass

'Joe Bloggs, who you might know, is on xxx social media' notifications - am I the only 1 who would be more likely to press 'Follow' if it read 'whom you might know'??! #everydaypedantry

[Grown Green @KateCollyns]

@ZoeJardiniere Perhaps the @GPEWCampaigns should follow #DeadRingers thought that @CarolineLucas & other Greens should behave badly in order to get coverage/media invites

[Grown Green @KateCollyns]

@Organic_pam 😅 love it. Have you found time to fill in the @OGAgrowers host farm survey looking at labour requirements? Would be v interesting... https://t.co/ZCcZZLEbKT
