    "This event was originally scheduled for April 16. The date has been updated to May 20.

    Join #MOFGA’s Crop Specialist, Caleb Goossen, for a discussion on #organic management of common pests in the #VegetableGarden. Caleb will start by sharing strategies used to minimize the presence of pests from the outset using cultural practices such as promoting the presence of '#beneficials'. But sometimes pests show up anyway, despite our best efforts or during particularly challenging growing seasons. So, Caleb will also discuss what can be done when pests emerge."

Gizmodo: This Ridiculously Simple Trick Might Stop Gulls From Nabbing Your Lunch. “Researchers in the UK studied how European herring gulls (Larus argentatus) in the city reacted to various types of takeout boxes.

  14. This rat found in Teesside UK is absolutely huge at 56cm from end to end. I'm not going to put my hand near it! It is a thing of nightmares.

    It would need one big cat to have a good chance of killing it.

    Seen in the good old Graun.

  21. Excited about our new project, FLYTHRIVE, with Olombria, NRI, Asplins and Summerberry Company. Hoverflies are amazing: dual-purpose beneficial insects! They are good little #pollinators, and many species also help control aphids! The larvae of the aphid-eating #hoverflies are voracious little predators that will eat up to a few dozen aphids per day.

    #ClimateChangeGardening: 12 strategies for a #resilient #garden

    by Niki Jabbour

    "#ClimateChange gardening is a set of tactics that make our yards and gardens more resilient to extreme weather as well as reduce our personal impacts on the climate. There are several ways to approach climate change gardening. You can use sustainable and organic gardening practices that put soil, #biodiversity, and #pollinators first. You can also plan to reduce plastic waste, up-cycle materials, and collect #rainwater.

    3 reasons to care about climate change gardening

    "Climate change gardening influences the health and success of your garden. When you nurture your soil, foster biodiversity, and support pollinators you create a garden that is more resilient to the challenges of climate change. Here are 3 reasons to care about climate change gardening.

    - Extreme weather – The impact of weather related challenges like droughts, storms, precipitation, flooding, and above or below normal temperatures can be reduced with climate change gardening strategies.
    - Pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects – Climate change can affect pollinators and birds in various ways. Weather extremes can impact migration timing and success, host plant growth and bloom time, disease and pest issues, and habitat and food supply.
    - Non-native invasive pests and plants – With a longer growing season, invasive plants, pests, and diseases will move north and potentially affect plant health and crop yields."
