How about something like this next year. Don't know what it's called yet but probably a marrow/squash /courgette sort of thing.

@MPSPeninsula a late date for your diary if you're in the area. We don't have any 25 kg pumpkins this year but lots of other spectacular veggies to wonder at.

Went to @BandQ to buy some flooring over the weekend. Made the mistake of having a look in the garden dept. Any company that treats plants with such contempt isn't getting any business from me. All of these probably too far gone to rescue. Shame on you @BandQ

Grim news! London did successfully ban the burning of the worst coal in 1956 but the last few winters my local @Wickes (and for a time B&Q) has sold non compliant coal. Immoral but apparently not illegal. @Royal_Greenwich @EGRA_London @AirFairy04

Slightly ambitious bike delivery of a grape vine and standard white currant to Christchurch School community garden ready for an @growingforgold @egra @FIMAC10 gardening session tomorrow. Is it time for a bike trailer?

@BBCRadio4 #youandyours you have a piece on air quality and dirty fuel. @Wickes and possibly others sell non compliant coal in Greenwich and probably the rest of London. Can you contact them for comment please. Photos of coal for sale last week. Clean air zone since 1950s.

Great victory for common sense and common purpose as plans for a toxic cruise terminal at Enderby Wharf in Greenwich are abandoned. Many thanks @Banxcartoons for these and many more. Brought great cheer to us all during the @notoxicport campaign.

Reported a burned out scooter on the Thames Path to @Royal_Greenwich 'fix my street' on the 15th. Got an email from the council on the 25th asking for more info. Unsatisfactory phonecall later told not the councils problem. Still there yesterday. @MPSGreenwich @EGRA_London help!

21st century urban space or 1960s Elephant and Castle?

Can't have been helped by the Viking Cruise ship sitting in Greenwich for the last 3 days pumping out pollutants from the 700 litres or so burned every hour she is here. That ought to be a pollution story you can do something with. There are over 30 ships in London this summer.
