Morning SmallholdersUK (find us on BlueSky) Debbie Kingsley @LandworkersUK and all other smallholder people. I'd welcome any thoughts about the pros and cons of the new SFI 2024 offer. A good thing for smallholders? Too much hassle for what it's worth? Currently think it looks appealing... Thanks!

A tree, and a flint axe, maybe 4000 years ago. A strong, determined, arm strikes a single misjudged blow. The axe head snaps in half. A neolithic swear-word? I found this lovely thing on the saffron headland.

Good evening from Dr Sally Francis.

Plant trees!

Busy day today. I'm running a saffron course Cam Botanic Garden in beautiful Cambridge. We'll be covering saffron's botany, history, uses, how to spot fake saffron, and we'll be doing a little pratical as well: dyeing with saffron.

Hi Hodmedod's. Please see my DM :)
