Courgette Cornucopia were the words on everyones lips this week, Lesley had mentioned it on Radio Lincolnshire last Sunday and an article in the Lincolnshire Echo on Saturday complete with photograph were all that were needed for people to come along and see what to do with them, we sold out of any spare courgettes everyday so it must have inspired customers to go home and have a go!!
We also had the Butterfly Conservation people back to put up a moth trap on Saturday night they arrived about 8.45pm and set it up, there was a really bright light and a box with a funnel that the moths fell into. My poor Dad was volunteered to get up at 3.00am to cover over the box (to stop the sun warming it up) and at 9.30am it was opened to find out what we had caught.
We recorded 30 different species amongst these were a Poplar Hawk Moth, Goldspot, Mother of Pearl and a Magpie just to name a few. I am now looking on the internet for instructions on how to make a 'Moth Trap' for myself.
