🥗 Just because the weather's getting cooler (and wetter) doesn't mean a lack of locally grown seasonal veggies.
👩🌾 We have two excellent growers in #NorthLondon who sell nature friendly food all year: Enfield Veg Co and GROW.

Disappointed in the @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social who has an account here with 3.3k followers but has never posted.
I was going to share its recent Wild Live event but won't if they can't be bothered to post it here.

The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters.
I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

An across-government technical assessment published today recognises that "nature is the foundation of national security" and that "every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse". A rational response to this would be to get very serious about nature recovery.

I was a bit sad today when I needed to have the small boats chat with my mum.
The rhetoric of excessive immigration has reached her, a generally open-minded women in her 70s living in a majority white town in the Midlands.
Can anyone recommend further resources to help me with future chats?

What a delightful mini series about food plants on BBC sounds.
Made in the 80s the series gives a snapshot to our recent food history and much is still relevant.
16 x 8-min episodes about a range of foods from beans to wheat, covering their history and importance to the world we live in.
Enjoy!

Well that's a wrap for 2025!
A few weeks ago we had a terrific time decorating the garden, having a quick tidy up and planting some bulbs before leaving the whole space (and us) to have a breather for a few months.
Here's to more garden fun in 2026, but first it's time to rest 😊
