Jo RhodesOn the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityAllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityAllotment</a> we have a large Bon Chretien pear tree which is allegedly self fertile but never produces much fruit. Always has lots of flowers but only had 3 pears last year and 1 the year before. A friend says she hangs a flowering branch from a different pear tree on her one and pops the end in a jar of water. So I liberated a flowering branch from a comice pear tree in the council car park and popped it in water on our tree .. and things are looking much better. Lots of set fruit this time so fingers crossed. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/OrganicGardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrganicGardening</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AllotmentLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AllotmentLife</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pollination</a>

Jo RhodesBeen a particularly chaotic couple of weeks at work so just spent the afternoon doing some therapeutic <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a> on the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityAllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityAllotment</a> Potted up lots of wildflowers that had self seeded mostly <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/foxglove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foxglove</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/teasel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#teasel</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/lungwort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lungwort</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/yarrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#yarrow</a> and also potted up some <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/jostaberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jostaberry</a> cuttings that had rooted well. Most will be given away through our <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityFridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityFridge</a> but some of the flowers are going to our local museum <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TheFolly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheFolly</a> who are creating a medicinal garden 🌱😀❤️

Jo RhodesSimple pleasures amidst all the grimness in the world.. all of these were just pruned twigs a few weeks ago from our <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/biodynamic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodynamic</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityAllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityAllotment</a> - growing happily now and we will give these out through our <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityFridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityFridge</a> and they will eventually become <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/pear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pear</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cherry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cherry</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/plum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plum</a> trees 🌳😀

Jo RhodesResponded to a local FB post from a woman getting rid of some plant pots..originally she said it was a couple of bags worth but when I arrived was offered 5 large rubbish bags of stuff.. this is what was there once I'd sorted out the pots into similar sizes. We can use them at the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityFridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityFridge</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CommunityAllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CommunityAllotment</a> or pass them on..but they are currently in my tiny car which is full! <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#permaculture</a>
