Ironing cabbages? STRANGE things have been
done before at the Garden Club, but ironing a cabbage has to be one of the strangest. Rona Edmonds from Newport’s Natural Health Care Centre was demonstrating how to make a cabbage poultice to reduce inflammation. A few rosettes of cabbage leaves, softened by steam iron, were placed like an inverted green flower over a helpfully proffered aching knee, then covered in cling film and bandaged in place. Try it for at least a couple of hours, or overnight, if you suffer joint pain; the worst that can happen is the smell of a cabbage fest in the bedroom.
It was interesting to hear how
such ordinary plants as cabbage and beetroot can be described as ‘super foods’ for their health-giving properties.
The cabbage is not only
rich in vitamins and minerals, and anti-inflammatory, but its juice can be used to treat stomach ulcers. Once left to ferment into sauerkraut it becomes full of pro-biotics.
Beetroot helps to
lower blood pressure, we were told, and athletes take the juice to aid oxygenation of the muscles. Next month is the AGM on the February 24, but we will be back to normal meetings on the last day of March with Stuart Akkermans from Cae Hir. Will he do anything strange? Come to the Boat Club at 7.30pm to find out.

Pembroke Dock Library welcomes David Saunders MBE DAVID SAUNDERS, MBE
will be giving a talk at Pembroke Dock Library on February 27 at 7.30pm. The talk will be on life and wildlife on Skomer Island 50 years ago where David lived with his wife and two small children for 7 years. They were the only inhabitants, surrounded by wildlife including thousands of seabirds, grey seals and the unique Skomer Vole.
David has spent a lifetime in wildlife conservation for which he earned the MBE in 2003. In 1960 he became the first warden of Skomer Island. Returning to the mainland, from Pembrokeshire, he organised Operation Seafarer in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Over 1000 surveyors took part, providing the first comprehensive account of the abundance and distribution of seabirds breeding around the coasts of Britain and Ireland.
David understood the value of records to the conservation cause and was consequently supportive in initiating the Pembrokeshire Bird Report and bringing about the
publication of The Birds of
Pembrokeshire, 1994. He writes regularly for Bird
Watching Magazine and has had published books including the RSPB Guide to British Birds.
