Leo I will give a report every so often on how the island is holding up. Outside of the turtle damage I can see nothing that has changed from last spring until now. It shows no signs of water logging. If I repair the turtle damaged foam with a torch and paint I will take pictures of it while it is in the water. I don’t think this would take any time at all to do. Since the petunias grew well on the island I can’t see why vegetables like lettuce, cabbages and fruits like strawberries wouldn’t do well also. I may try some veggies to see if there are any problems. With my high population of frogs it might be that the veggie would be almost bug free. Also on my small farm we grow corn and soybeans and the thought struck be would my bluegills eat the high protein soybeans?
