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

[Dr Georgina Key @KeyGeorgina]

@StaceySolomon You are an absolute delight to watch!

@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!

@JMBecologist Not me!

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).

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

[Dr Georgina Key @KeyGeorgina]

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

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

This is so good.

@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

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

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….

[Dr Georgina Key @KeyGeorgina]

@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

@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...
