@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialMy (home ed) granddaughter comes to me on Mondays for 'Nature Studies'. She's been coming since last September, and keeps a nature journal to draw and write about whatever we choose to focus on that day. Tomorrow we're going to see if we can spot - or hear - a Wren! Watch this space...

@lgspace.bsky.socialReposted by @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialChoosing peat-free compost helps protect peatlands. These precious landscapes can support a multitude of plants and animals, store carbon, reduce flooding, and improve water quality. They need protecting and restoring in a big way.

@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialSome of the plants still producing flowers in our garden... Mostly being enjoyed by Common Carder bumblebees and Hummingbird Hawk moths, but a few hoverflies and wasps, too.
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialI’ll let you know!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialLOVE the idea of grafting as a homeschool topic! X
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialOoh… what a beauty!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialThat’s really interesting, Madrona… thank you for this information!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialBonkers…
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialI’ve left a note on the allotment it came from asking if they’d let me know which variety it is, Shakira… Also, they run grafting courses at this particular allotment so Rob is thinking of signing up next time we visit his daughter in Sheffield!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialIt sounds amazing… wish we lived closer!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialAnd how wrong they would be.
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialThank you, Cab. And good luck some day with getting the colour into your cider!
@brigitstrawbridge.bsky.socialThank you for this, Eugene.
