Blue sky and sun since I got up, first cuppa outside at 8AM I've been pottering in the garden ever since, I'm only inside now, cos Fred was demanding I refill his biscuit bowl
I'm about to plant out my antirrhinums and lobelia plants that I put into modules. When I have done this and upended one side I find that some of the others either fall out or get a bit squashed by the tray. Today I am going to try out using a shoe horn as it is smaller in size that a bulb trowel and they should come out much easier. Whaddya you think?
Mine are dusting, emptying the cat's litter tray and hoovering up (or rather Dysoning up) the dead bodies of wandering woodlice that find their way onto the carpets from places unknown especially when I've just done it then another one appears from nowhere.
It will be partially buried, about 18 inches above ground, so the chances of frogs getting in there are pretty slim I havent seen frogs in my garden for many years now The bugs and bees like the pond plants in my other pond There are lots of bugs and insects living in my old pond (one of the reasons I am keeping it) My old pond just has rain water in it, bit cloudy, but clean filters will sort that out
Maybe something in keeping with any plants you are putting your pond. Grasses, Iris, heucheras, and maybe one or two annuals so you can ring the changes. It will also be a place for insects and maybe either frogs or toads to hide in. Don't forget to put something in the pond at the edge like a stone or a piece of log so they can get out if needed.
