Decisions to be made there, Dove. Even if you decide to remove those exposed roots, do think they may re-grow at some stage in the future and undermine your new pond?
The roots are going David - the pond will have a flexible liner so any roots that regrow will not crack concrete or a pre-formed pond, and it's going to be a wildlife pond so the shape is not overly important. Hopefully the pond will last a few years
I've just given OH a Mars bar
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Oh Dove that doesn't look fun! I'm so glad we had a digger for ours.
Come inside to listen to someone I've met through Twitter talk on the radio (BBC Solent) about vegetables in a few minutes time. He's @gardeninggent and really rather amusing!
Just got back from the GC - was looking for a Lonicera Serotina or Belgica - they'd hardly got any honeysuckles at all - will have to try another GC later in the week - however I did get a Sambucus Sutherland's Gold from the Not Quite Dead Yet section £12.99 reduced to £6.49 - lots of healthy buds on it - think someone panicked and thought it was dead, but it isn't

Dove - it'll need to be a helluva size of Mars bar....
Andy - I already have Almost Black and Beaujolais for the darks, and White Frills, White Ensign, Anne Gregg and Jilly for the whites and creams. My sister is called Jill so if she's very good (or I don't like them ) I may give her some of those....
Making good progress on the biggest raised bed so I'm hoping to put some in there. Nice sunny fence. Will do a couple of pots as well I think. Put some more plants in this morning, and planted the rest of my bulbs...did you hear that nut.. Still not found the little anemones though
Will need yet more compost - I've got a little bit that I've made but I'm keeping that for later. It's a bottomless pit this bed, but on the plus side, I will need a couple more plants so a trip to the nursery beckons. Wanted a Peony, but didn't think I'd have room, and someone's just posted about them so that's made up my mind. It can go where some of the narcissus are just now
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

punkdoc Think we all have been in that dog house at sometime but it's great to get some peace & silence.
Fairygirl I love sweet peas got about 40 sowed hope your new ones are good.
4thPanda once you start gardening your arm will free itself off.

Dove As they say nothing is easy when digging for gold.

Either-ways, good luck with your project.

It'd going to take a bit more than that Dove
In the sticks near Peterborough
He's just had two slices of homemade wholemeal bread toasted and a big bowl of chicken and broccoli soup - now he needs a post-prandial nap

Party was good last night, not suffering too much today.
OH on fence repair task after all the wind, now abandoned due to wind (and he wants to go cycling)

Pond and roots look a little like hard work Dove, hope OH enjoys his tea.
Ah Tracey, what happened to GH?
