  @deepmud@mas.to I think people seeing people doing good things should shout it from the rafters.

  @kellyromanych@mastodon.social Love the new harness and your deaf tags look good on it. Geo looks in really good shape. Ernie was a gangly thing at the same age. Now spring’s here Ernie likes to bring his toys outside after breakfast.

  @Hellybootwader@mastodon.scot A plot holder here wants cuttings to propagate from the daubenton’s panache kale I received from you. So your evil plan is happening a lot further afield than Fife.

  I don’t watch much of UK tv news media’s political fuckwittery anymore. But the lead up to this local election has been something else. I am utterly disillusioned with corporate Britain and its media lackeys. The rise in popularity of the Green Party EW is in spite of (or because of?) the media narrative. I like to think people are turning away from that narrative at speed. If you have a vote tomorrow, please vote for hope not hate. Vote Green. 💚 #VoteGreen #UKPolitics

  @carolannie@c.im It provides an early flower for pollinators. I’ll also make some blue dye from it but my hope is go a stage further and turn its leaves later in the summer into blue pigment for painting.

  English midland hawthorn in flower on a dog walk. My favourite hawthorn for the mass of spring colour it provides. #Bloomscrolling #Trees

  @kellyromanych@mastodon.social I thought he’d take a look around first but he just said nope I’m lying down here in the grass and in the shade.

  @Florapis@toot.wales We took a look at his diet and decided we could cook it healthier and cheaper and cut out a lot of the plastic packaging too. He has a broad mix of veggies with some chicken or sardines with a flax seed, turmeric and ginger gravy. It’s worked out cheaper than the food we used to buy for him and he’s off the high fibre medication he was on. We upped the fibre intake in his diet instead.

  @Florapis@toot.wales Yes, thanks. His 100% home cooked diet is working well. He likes a lie down on his walks but he’s doing really well. He’s still bonkers.

  @carolannie@c.im He’s on grass flattening duty.

  @PhoenixSerenity@beige.party If anyone tries to steal anything he’ll lick their faces off. He might give them a whack with his wagging tail too.

  Sitting here for ten minutes and seeing the bumble bees on the woad and hearing the birdsong in the trees was by far the best bit of my day. #Gardening #Allotment

  The compost pile I built from successive layers of grass clippings, wood chip and horse manure less than 48 hours ago is cooking nicely. Currently reading 67°C (152F). #Compost #Composting #SolarPunkSunday #Allotment #Gardening

  A bouquet of flowers picked from the garden on this day three years apart. The pink bouquet is from today, the yellow bouquet is from 2023. Only the forget-me-nots and yellow wallflowers are present at the same time of year as they were three years ago. #Remembrance #ClimateDiary #Gardening

  My collection of saved bean seeds. Some for culinary use, others for sowing. All are heirloom or open pollinated varieties. One jar contains a cross of two beans as the start of landrace gardening. All the others look true to type. The bean seeds are all distinct from each other in shape, size or colour. I’ll be growing 5 more varieties (climbing, dwarf french and broad beans) for seed saving this year. #SeedSaving #GrowYourOwn #SolarPunkSunday

  Good video on soil blocking from Bloom and Gray Flower Farm. A great way to cut some plastic use out of gardening. #Gardening #Allotment #SolarPunkSunday #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown https://youtu.be/BimeiZUg4G4?si=HSV9wUBfXi5WmCKZ

  I turned a pile and emptied the compost daleks to make a fourth compost heap. That’s the composting work done for a little bit now. #Compost #Composting #Mulch #NoDig #Allotment #Gardening

  All the shed needs now is some plants growing along the windows. And some window glass but the solitary bees and bumblebees wander in and out as they please which is lovely. #Allotment

  Current status of the New Year’s Day planted potato experiment. As feared, we barely had a frost last winter. These are Casablanca first earlies and will be either harvested or moved out before the tomatoes and cucumbers are planted in this greenhouse bed in a month or so’s time. #Gardening #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown
