That looks fantastic, Justin!
If I was a frog I'd be moving in Justin

Brilliant Justin. You've worked really hard on that. Hope you get time to enjoy it.
The liner's well disguised with planting now
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That's looking great - stand well back - it'll soon be colonised with all sorts of mini-beasts - ours is teeming with life

Is it too late to get frogspawn for the pond? I've made a pond on the plot by sinking an old fibre glass bath into the soil and putting in half a dozen aquatic plants., min'e I'm worried the sides are too steep for frogs.
Your pond looks great Justin. Mine looks a bit oblong.
Bruce - a bath will be much too steep sided for frogs - it will also be a death-trap to hedgehogs and other small mammals. You need to find a way of making a shallow sloping 'beach' at one end.

Your pond looks great, Justin. Would like to make a pond in my garden for my frog friends but can just imaging our batty dog thinking its for her to paddle in. Probs have to leave that project for a few years.
That really is special, enjoy.
It looks lovely, stunning
. Lot of hard work gone into it I should imagine.
