The top of our garden, which we affectionately refer to as the wild half, is awash with snowdrops.

It's about half an acre of very old trees (150+ years). Over the years we scattered wild flower seeds and left it to nature.

It was once an old orchard for the house. #gardening #wilding

I quite enjoyed #Wilding an account of #rewilding a farm in #Britain. It was both fascinating and depressing. It was interesting how disconnected many Brits are from the natural world, the opposition to scrub is frankly hilarious to someone currently living in Australia! I was amused to read that beavers have been successfully smuggled into Britain for release more than once (and river health benefited). A weak spot is perhaps that while the costs of the work, the subsidies needed and the impact of agricultural policy since WWII are addressed, the author doesn’t quite recognise the huge inter generational wealth that means they own this land and accompanying castle, nor how they were able to support themselves during the 20yr process. #ecology @bookstodon

I finally started a channel on Peertube - or two actually, the other one, Kirjakanava, is for my Finnish book content. Books & Bugs channel, on the other hand, will mostly be about nature stuff, or that's how I've planned it. But we shall see. I'm baaad at focusing on only one thing in my social media channels. 😀

Anyway, here's my very first video: My Finnish Wild Garden (2025). 🌱

Wildlife Trust project puts nature at the heart of Chesterfield's neighbourhoods | Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

Street by street, a bold new project is laying the foundations for a wilder, healthier Chesterfield, where nature and people can flourish side by side.

Dear commercial-free anglophile friends,  

On the whole, I am strictly ad-free. I only support Mastodon, #FLOSS, #Anarchists and other #ethical excellence.  

I am kinda hardcore #nerd in these matters.

Today I found and have been impressed by the advice and support of a commercial #organic #seed company based in Devon AND have put a link to them on my Ecology page.

I do not endorse them but have found them kind and helpful. Which is the basic quality I look for. ✅

Please do not slut shame me. I am neither a haw berry, whore or follower seeker.  

Did I do OK? I hope so. I am very interested in #wilding and #organically growing #food. I am also inclined to befriend slugs, snails and dendroaphiliacs.

Ah well, so bee it. Roses and #apples. Bramble and ramble. At least I am not an AI imitation but a real wer-lobster... 🦞

The fireweed in the center pot of the big hexagon melon bed is blooming along with some marigolds.

A stunning creeper.. I love when neighboring gardens take on a life of their own, ignoring all boundaries. #Wilding
