Only 3% of UK wildflower meadows are left - bad news for bees and butterflies. RT if you think we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

Pricking out seedlings is one of the most important jobs in late spring, as it gives plants more space to grow and gives you better flowers and veg crops. @TheMontyDon explains how to do it: bit.ly/2Vb25yM
