Here’s some photos of the whole of the back garden today and I’ve now added the gravel to the top of the new border :)

It's surprising how much difference the gravel makes, it has certainly made the plants stand out. Lots of colour in the garden which the Acers will add to of course. The fish look happy in the sunshine and add their own colour, your pond water is beautifully clear. OH has just spent this weekend netting duck weed off the top of ours!
Do we get a picture of the rabbits - I assume they are rabbits - but could be anything!

Yes! I will take a picture of the rabbit! Everybody keeps asking, I'll get her into her run on the lawn tomorrow and take a decent photo of her. I have alot of pumps and filters for the pond and the plants help clear it! I did have duckweed but I bought some albino grass carp and they eat all the weeds and algae and they help to keep it clear :)

Really looking great! The garden is the way we want the world to look. What kind of goldfish do you have? There is a really bad mink problem in my area and everyone I know who keeps fish in their pond including myself, in addtion to two pond fish suppliers lost every one, yes every one of their fish. I'm considering getting battery operated faux Koi:)

You have really worked hard since you took over that garden Dan and all the work has paid off, it all looks smashing and your plants are really flourishing, the fish are basking in the sunshine whilst it lasts.
I didn't realise you had a little dog as well....
