My latest creation - strawberry soap! 🍓
My latest creation - strawberry soap! 🍓
🌿 Small gestures for tomorrow.
I planted strawberry runners today, prepping for next year.
Just a few shoots, some soil, water… and toothpicks to hold them in place while roots settle 🤭
I'm trying basil again too — last year was a fail... It’s not a sure thing, but I’ll give it my best. Failures are part of the game.
And you — what are you planting these days? #gardening #strawberry #basil #nature
A brief #Introduction or actually, re-introduction post.
I'm Sarah. I'm an entomologist. I work at Niab in the UK, studying insects important in fruit crop production. This includes #Pollinators like bees and hoverflies, as well as natural enemies of pests, and the pests themselves.
Most of my work is on UK crops like #Apples and #Strawberries but I also have an area of work on entomology in #Cocoa (there are a lot of parallels with orchards really!).
I'm always happy to infodump enthusiastically about #SolitaryBees, #Forcipomyia, #Cacao cultivation, #Strawberry varieties, and also about hamsters.
