WOW!! Thats amazing, Lesleys right it looks so established, you wouldn't think it was only dug out a few months ago. Love the plants. Love the froggy pics too, haven't seen those before. Thank you for sharing, you must be sooo pleased with it
We have baby frogs that left the pond about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I was surprised to see 2 tadpoles with back legs but no front ones. Do some taddies wait until the following year to become frogs?
What wonderful pics! You are all so neat, ive got a major yellow flag iris problem, to the point that its hard to see the pond in summer! Im just not strong enough to get the iris out
Ive found if you let duck weed cover the surface, the algae dies off, you can then skim the duck weed off
Pottie Pam, i want your pond, if i had seen that with the horses when i was little, you would have had a lodger!
Will see if i can get a pic showing my hustle poster pond liner!

Just wonderful Dove. The pond looks as though it has always been there

Your pond looks lush Dove; I can't believe it was only made in March
My pond is growing up nicely too, the far side about 18 months the closest added early this year:
The clover's going a bit nuts but it does hold the stones together nicely and covers some awkward bits of liner...
