#allotments — Public Fediverse posts

Ho ve, someone's chomped on the furthermost radishes (The 'Candela di fuoco' I sowed on the 14th of last). It looks like I'm down to four! 😅 #Radishes #AllotmentGardening #VegGardening #Gardening #Allotments #Kent #England

Not looking too promising

Predicted level for River Trent to go over 5m at Colwick lock by Thursday morning. That’s higher than we’ve ever known it. Some allotments are going to be under water and not just allotments

The first two bottles of apple juice this season.

Making apple juice has proven the best way to manage a glut of apples. We have two trees, this is the smallest tree but bears the larger apples. I think it's a James Greaves.

The othe tree (not shown) is a Sunset. That one seems a little poorly this year.

This is FANTASTIC.

I'm a deep believer in creating small, self-sufficient and sustaining communities, especially where #food is concerned.
(Small is Beautiful by E F Schumacher is a #MustRead #book

This leadership from #NewYorkCity is something to be admired.

Giving the local #community more #ownership and #sovereignty over the means of #production has so many fabulous benefits:
- Benefits #ClimateAction / #ClimateChange by reducing #FoodMiles
- Benefits local #people by reconnecting them with the food on their plates
- Supports the #Local #Economy by keeping wealth & spending in the local area for the benefit of local #business

#Bristol (where I live now) is a city of #UrbanFarms and #allotments. It's staggering, actually, how much production capacity there is here. And I'm proud of it.

However, we must also be attentive to the #equality and #equity issues. #LocalSourcing can come with a price premium (local carrots here can cost 4x supermarket versions from the other side of #Europe).
Local production must come with local affordability too. That's a redline for me...

Finally, this level of #system change must be, surely, a great example of #SocialMarketing / #SocMar in action!

Hey @BrentToderian - did you see this?
