Ooh eclairs philippa...I'm sure I could fit just one more in!
Actually - someone gave me grief for recommending it once - can't remember who it was. It's so easy, and if it gets a bit overgrown it's simple to pull out...
and eat!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Philippa/fairygirl, My pond is the same as fishys, very new, we did them together, well, at the same time, did you see my pics on the previous page? Will water cress help that now. I didnt think I would have problems so soon!
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Dont have a pond. Yet, still working on hubby. I do have a half barrel with a few plants in which the birds love and, lord knows how, the frogs enjoy. We do get blanket weed so Ill try the watercress thing in there but I thought watercress needed flowing water.

That's blanket weed. Just twirl a bamboo cane around and hoik it out and leave it on the bank overnight
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've recommended watercress several times because I know from experience - it works!

Watercress - that sounds like a good idea. Also good cover for pond life? Do I just buy it from the supermarket?
Yup - just chuck a handful or two in, Fishy!

I was joking about buying it from the supermarket
So you really do then,shall I throw some spring onions in too? 
Only if you want a stir fry Fishy!
Philippa's right - probably don't need it till spring, but if it's mild enough now it'll grow - sometimes hangs about quite happily all winter

That's amazing there's a pond plant at the local co-op all this time but I just haven't seen it. I'll buy some tomorrow if its in stock
I couldn't see the frog in the pond today until I looked in the grass at the edge and there he was,incredible camouflage.
