Plot to shop

We are a community group based at Surrey Docks Farm where adults with learning disabilities learn how to grow plants and vegetables that we then sell in the farm shop. We love growing delicious veg and being part of a working mixed city farm

The first few tomatoes of the year are ripe and in the shop, so far just red cherry varieties: terenzo, red alert, and gartenperle

There's a few places left on this tour that I'm leading at @surreydocksfarm.bsky.social on Saturday March 22. You'll not only hear about the site's curious and fascinating history, you'll be able to see the proof of it!

Graphical abstract of science paper 'bumble bee damage plant leaves and accelerate flower production' with a list of the authors on a grey background. On the left is a watercolour illustration of a bumble bee damaging a plant leaf with the description 'when hungry for pollen, bumble bees use their mouthparts and mandibles to damage plant leaves'. this illustration is connected by a orange arrow to a watercolour drawing of a flowering yellow black mustard plant with a bumble bee. This has the description: 2) the damage inflicted by bees causes plants to flower earlier than paired control plants.

🌟 Throwback to my 2020 research published in @science.org 🌼🐝 We showed how bumble bees actively shape their environment—making plants flower earlier to meet their needs. Nature’s engineers in action! 🧪🌏

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated

We have harvested some of our jerusalem artichokes, which are now in the farm shop, one of the plants had a rather lovely flower so we put it in a vase by the till
