This week's editorial is super simple.... pulling the same pesky plant but at a new location 😏. Our campaign to rid the Shide / Blackwater valley of Himalayan Balsam continues, this week we attacked the area of land to the west of the Newclose Cricket Ground. Initially, the indications looked good, just a few pink blooms in between the other undergrowth but as we started to get deeper we found "forests of HB" 😡. When you are pulling plants that are way taller than yourself you realise just how invasive this species really is! With around 20 Team GG members in attendance and warm sunny weather we made good progress but it is certainly an area that will be needing more attention in the non to distant future.
Many thanks to the ladies in the pavilion kitchens who supplied us with copious amounts of tea & coffee at "tea break" 👍.
As yet, no details of next week's venue so please keep an eye on your e-mail in tray for an update.
A note from Mark.
I'm forwarding a pic of the pond at Queensgate Primary, looking good!
Many thanks to Terry for his photographs and to the tea ladies for providing the refreshments.
