Hello!
I'm a #gardener and designer based in #Warwickshire, UK.
Will mostly be sharing my adventures on my #allotment, in my kitchen and out and about in #nature.
Other hobbies include buying art supplies and not using them (same applies to books), cuddling my pets and eating crisps.

Any #ornithologists on here?
#Bird song identification needed.
Fleeting glimpse of small dumpy bird on a tree near a narrow river running through pasture fields near Winchelsea, East Sussex. Merlin App suggests #CettisWarbler but I know apps are not 100%. Confirmation from someone in the know would be great.
Today I've been on Mastodon for one year
I like:
how contributors are supportive and respectful of each other.
how you can learn more about interesting stuff.
the humour that pokes fun at the awful people who adversely affect our lives.
the absence of hateful stuff.
the wonderful images of the natural world.
the obsession with cats.
I post more than I boost. I only post stuff I have first-hand knowledge of.
Thanks for reading and responding to my posts.
THEY DID IT!!!!
My local library built the seed library!
The local Master Gardeners provided a lot of the intitial seeds (oh my gosh we are stocked!!!). They used an old card catalogue to store them. Today's the kickoff!
The idea is you "check out seeds" from the library, plant/grow/harvest, let some go to seed, then "return the seeds" back to the library!
Free seeds for everyone!
Editing to add my library's Seed Library web site: https://www.librarypoint.org/seed-library/

This quote, from #ActuallyAutistic author Hannah Gadsby, made me laugh so much.
They're explaining steps taken to prevent a mental health crisis through a challenging time.
"[...] I had learned to manage my environment better, and had avoided all the usual ASD pitfalls that had drained my reserves in previous years. Things like talking to people. And also socializing with people that talk. And not to mention other things such as talking to people who talk."
I felt seen 😂
Edit: pronouns!
Random advice: If the cilantro in your garden is bolting, harvest some of the seeds while they're still green. They're juicy, delicious, and pop in your mouth.
They're also something that (AFAIK) you can't buy in stores, so pat yourself on the back for being a gardener. Use them in salads, as a garnish, or however you want.
