It's a lot easier to work on these emails on a Sunday evening when the evenings are light. Next week in the UK the clocks move back, so the evening shall come even sooner. But if you live in the better hemisphere, then you have the comfort of spring being well underway.While the harvest is coming to an end in the UK, Plants People Planet is sowing the seeds of a special issue on fruit. They're looking for papers on many topics from microbiomes to fruit production to conservation. I think it could be a fascinating issue, as PPP is good at crossing the biology of plants with the social element of how we interact with them.On my to-do list this week is learn Spanish, and catch up with some of the videos Plantlife has been putting out on YouTube. For example, it looks like they have an interesting introduction to Palaeoecology. And there's also compile another email to send out this time next week. If it turns out that I can learn all Spanish in a week, I'll be sure to let you know.Until then, take care.Alun (webmaster@botany.one)
