And there we have it. Failure to act for humanity

The Climate Summit Is a Sick Joke. You Should Be Angry and Afraid The primary cause of global heating is fossil fuels; and global heating is what's driving all the crazy heat, fire, smoke, storms, flooding, drought, crop yield losses, and ecosystem death that is int...

But is anyone actually surprised

British Sugar fails to deliver on 3 year plan to end use of banned neonicotinoids | The Wildlife Tru... Time’s up! Minister urged to help sugar farmers go neonic-free and honour ban as deadline approaches to end reliance on bee-harming chemicals

Times up!! It’s ridiculous we are even still having this debate. Neonicotinoids are banned and there’s no excuse to use them

And there is the real worry. I seriously hope people are t falling for it, but I fear they are

Can someone explain to the damn government that no matter how often they insist immigration is the biggest issue facing us, that that’s simply a lie…..
Climate and biodiversity breakdown are the issues of our time!!
And can someone tell the @BBC too please?
Ta.

Thanks Kate.

It appears yet again that the promise of a ban on peat based compost in horticulture is forgotten, along with various other promises. When will this govt understand there’s no life on a dead planet 🌎

It’s crazy! The irony is they’re very loud about having a huge range of peat free composts!!

Just disappointing when they market themselves as independent and yet are buying through the incredibly toxic global system. But hey ho!!

Just visited a great garden centre with a huge range of interesting plants…..
Great you’d think?
Except they were all grown abroad in pots full of peat.
So disappointing.

I think I was tired!! Fell asleep!!

It was 17degrees here yesterday!! It’s freezing today. Insane

Still pouring here!!

Evening folks!!
How is everyone?!?

👋👋👋👋👋

Good morning folks!!
Feet hardly touched the ground over the weekend, from talking at an event to cleaning up my potting area and now off to work!!
Today teaching a chutney making class! First time for everything!!

Definitely this was outfit of the day……

Euonymus europaeus L., Spindle; invert associates
1. I've used Spindle in every copse & hedgerow I’ve ever planted. Fruits ripen about now; vivid red-pink capsules enclose bright orange arils. It’s a larval host for c. 27 spp. of inverts, 9 of them Lepidoptera.

It’s one of my absolute favourites

Surely using any civilian lives as collateral damage is morally unacceptable?
There needs to be a ceasefire now and we need the leader of the opposition to fight for that

Me too Gilly:-))

Hear hear!!
