In 2021 I set about trying to grow many melons in Yorkshire in the North of the UK to show it could be done. I've written a book about how you too can grow melons in short season climates. 'Melons and other Cucurbits' is available to pre-order now published by @prospectbooks – at Hollingthorpe, England

I'm struggling to be on twitter at the moment with Elon Musk and his support of far right figures so I'm going to do most of my posting over on Instagram - @richardbrownht - however, there are so many people I enjoy reading on here. It's a dilemma. – at Wakefield, England

On a nicer note I've just spent a lovely week in Hereford canoeing and finding old orchards. It's such a beautiful county with excellent cider and Perry.

I'm out cycling in Morocco and it's amazing to see the greenery and bird noise where there is the slightest bit of water. Here in this part of the Atlas they are growing dates, wheat and pomegranate. Some citrus but not many here. – at N'kob, Royaume du Maroc
