Back out at work today. And whilst the sun was shining, the wind chill was horrendous. Hence I went full swaddle again.
I was mostly pruning fruit bushes and tidying up strawberry beds.

Blackcurrants benefit from removing old wood in winter โ a tidy job that boosts summer yields.

Fabulous first crop from this season's redcurrants heading to a nearby farm shop from our #Oxfordshire #Cotswolds farm. Lots more still to pick, hopefully before the blackbirds spy them as need to make some redcurrant jelly. Best crop in years. #naturefriendlyfarming #farming #softfruit
Rhubard, red currants and gooseberries harvested yesterday plus strawberries and raspberries. Added to chia, seseme and sunflower seeds. All swished up with Brown Cow kefir. So tasty you are forced to eat it slowly! #breakfast #softfruit #kefir
Do you like yellow soft fruit? Are you a fan of genre defining 90โs music? Do you hope wistfully for a groundbreaking mashup containing both of these things? Could you be a cartoon supervillain with a cohort of minions?
Why not buy a t-shirt or a sticker!? [โฆ]
With the help of our Pottery Workshop team, Eddie and Nereen made some beautiful ceramic labels for the soft fruit in the Kirtlington House garden. Aren't they lovely!?

Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C. When grown on farms, the quality standards are very high - fruit need to be regularly-shaped, decently-sized and evenly-coloured. Poor pollination can result in irregular and thus unmarketable fruit. [2/]

Reminder: Niab's Soft Fruit Technical Day coming up next week 28 Nov. Free online event, 09:10 to 14:15, various short talks on how our research can be applied to soft-fruit growing systems. Crop physiology & biology, IPPM, sustainable growing.

Also nice to catch up with Kent's amazing fruit growers, agronomists, biocontrol suppliers and others.
Chatted about some of the projects we have around pollination and sustainable pest management in fruit crops.

Our rural economy is under threat. That means job losses. Less local fruit in the shelves. Higher prices. Food security matters. Food poverty really matters.
