It has been raining on and off all day which has increased the percentage of rainwater to tap water in the pond quite a lot.
And in between the frequent showers, when the sun was shining and even quite hot, the grandchildren finished what the rain had began and filled the pond from watering cans.
The plants are planted and submerged, I’ve used old slate at one end to provide an easy entrance and exit for the wild life I’m expecting and……….to make the wild life feel welcome…………………… these two cheeky chappies are standing guard.
Next week I think I must go a froggie hunting.
what fun!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool!! I love your garden pond.
ReplyDeletecool loretta
ReplyDeletecongrats! looks like the kids are enjoying themselves. ; D
ReplyDeletethank you ladies..................I am actually beginning to feel as if I am achieving something, and I don't know if you can see but the water is clearing, the mud and debris has settled at the bottom.
ReplyDeletethats good!
ReplyDeleteyou like my froggie guards ??? lol :-))
ReplyDeleteI did notice that the water is clearing. It is looking good!!
ReplyDeleteit is wonderful that you put so much of yourself into this... and that you are so happy... looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good. I hope you manage to attract some wildlife, that would be great.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE;....... Bit of a setback, the water level is going down. This must mean I've not sealed it properly. I just hope the problem is with the way the overflow hole has been sealed, that's not too bad it's a few inches below the surface. If the plug hole turns out not to be sealed.............I will have to empty the whole thing and start again ..................have marked the water level and will check first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeletevery pretty enjoy

ReplyDeleteThat will be fun if you get some frogs.
