As you can see a small but select group of us logged onto this morning’s Zoom meeting. We started off by talking about clay, initially that which is used by potters, but then segued onto clay that we find in the garden – deemed to be nutrient rich but hard work to garden with. One of our group wished to explore the possibility of lighting his greenhouse 24/7 so that his tomatoes carried on growing throughout the night - perhaps a trial might get underway!
As mentioned in Mark’s email, the pond at Queensway and further improvements were discussed. Mark shared a photo of the pond completely full of water. The turfs (turves?) need to be lifted around the edge of the pond and then replaced on top of the liner that is currently showing. Martin suggested a rail and duckboards be added to make a safer area for dipping.
Bird life was then discussed with sightings of skylarks of which there are plenty on the Island. There is an update to the white tailed eagle project – here is the link if you haven’t seen it yet - https://www.roydennis.org/2021/03/10/spring-explorations/
Stay safe and keep hanging on in there!
A big thank you to Alison for this week's blog 👏.
