the yellow plant which is covered in bees as soon as it flowers is a sedum rockery creeper, it tries to take over so i have to be hard with it but and bits left in the soil just root and away it goes, thinking about putting it around the pond
Loved your pics. The pond will soon settle in, could you erect some sort of netting frame around pump/filter and put a small iavy or something up it to hide black box. I Still wish I had a pond like that though.
Looks great Alan. Keep us posted - would love to see it when it comes back to life in the Spring. Is that ordinary netting covering the pond? Will need to get something for mine as I've spent days lately picking the leaves out of it!
Your pics are lovely Alan. Just a word of warning about the " mind your own business" plant ( if that's what it is) Once you have it in a bed you cannot get rid of it and it even spread into the lawn in a previous garden and we had a devil of a job to stop it spreading further (even had a specialist lawn company in to try to control it!) After my experience I would never knowingly introduce it into my garden.

thanks for the heads up on that patrevlil, we will take due care
Just ordinary netting, anything to keep the leaves producing methane gas.
