    Hello Mrs G welcome back image Think Daniel deserves a pint!  

    Plans for the pond - well, so far ............. wildlife pond, vaguely round-ish about 1.5m in diameter - it will have to be partially under the biggest ash tree so we'll have to net it in the autumn.  It'll have a deeper end and a sloping shallow beach.   Planting around it will include pulmonaria, native primrose, hellebores, iris foetidissima  arum italicum cyclamen, lamiums and ferns, with small shrubby stuff behind to provide cover for hedgehogs etc.  and then nearer to the garden bench in that area, some bigger twiggy shrubs, with winter scent and catkins being two of the priorities, underplanted with snowdrops and aconites.  More clematis and honeysuckles on the fence and trellis around the seat to make it almost arbour-like. 

    And of course, we've got a big new bed to create at the front of the house too image

    Welcome back MrsG - glad you enjoyed the snowimage

    Pond sounding lovely Dove - look forward to following progress.

    The rainy weather prompted an ironing spree.  First time i have seen the bottom of the basket since Christmasimage.  But at least the rain is settling all my new plants nicely in their homes.  Can't believe its Sunday already - can i have another weekend in the garden starting tomorrow please ....image
