I lost my best friend of 18 years on the 19th of November… she passed away in my bedroom at home from old age early in the morning. So many mixed emotions about it still 😦 I love you Mini ♥

Long strips of bright wildflowers are being planted through crop
fields to boost the natural predators of pests and potentially cut
pesticide spraying.The strips were planted on 15 large arable farms in central and
eastern England last autumn and will be monitored for five years, as
part of a trial run by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH).Concern over the environmental damage caused by pesticides has grown
rapidly in recent years. Using wildflower margins to support insects
including hoverflies, parasitic wasps and ground beetles has been shown
to slash pest numbers in crops and even increase yields.
