Water,Water everywhere

well the ponds are coming on, seem to be breeding though, but I have always had an obsession with water so I suppose its not surprising.

We now have a small container pond with solar powered fountain in front garden.

A larger container pond in a half oak whisky barrel in the back garden, despite having been soaked it stillhas a slight warm smell of whisky, this is fitted with a solar powered oxygenator.

Then at the back in the vegetable plot there is the old duck pond, not a fish pond, with a bog garden and nature pond, oh and of course the rockery, all sort of intertwinned (pictures to follow when daughter returns camera).

New Nature Pond

Well got up early and mad the most of the sunshine, and redid the Bog garden and dug a new nature pond.
Sadly no photos as daughter number 2 has borrowed my camera.

Goldfish

Sadly we have lost two of the small pond fish this week, not sure why yet.

New Pond

I am currently in the process of making a new small pond nearer the house, so we can see it more.
The pond is going to be in half an old Whiskey Barrel.

Wildlife, fish and ponds

Well the old duck pond has been cleaned out, and has now be gievn a new lease of life as a fish pond. Next to the main pond I have created a rockery and bog garden to attract wildlife, and will soon (when the rain stops) be adding a nature pond.
