Coping With The Heatwave.....

Well done, Lincs! A horrible job out of the way before the heat goes! 👍

No doubt your pond will look a whole lot better for having been cleaned out & the plants will also flower/grow better now they have been thinned out & you have added clean water to it!

That frog must certainly be a stubborn character!

Definitely did it in the right time of day, Sue, and while it's not horribly cold and miserable weather. Mornings and evenings when the sun is not too hot, you probably enjoyed it! Of sorts, that is. The end result, most definitely! Looks really tidy and little Mr Frog is most likely happy too. It's amazing how quickly the pond plants can spread! We only have a lily in ours. Loving your collection, and the planting around the pond!
You deserved a well earned rest after all that!

Sue, I bet that was a mucky, smelly old job so well done for completing the task. It looks really smart now ... :o)

A job well done!

Thankyou all, its a job that I actually like doing, good feeling of satisfaction when I finish and can just sit and admire, its also my favourite part of my garden, so peaceful down there.....

It is a most satisfying job once completed. I remember struggling with overenthusiastic waterlilies when we had a small pond in an earlier home. The goldfish were not impressed with the clearance. Good job well done, Lincs.

Yes thats right and the good thing about that pond is I won't have to do it again next year Ange, its left alone for the wildlife.....

A good job done as you said Sue! It's a horrible job and the little pond I had done for Rick needs sorting out too, plus a vision pond which is just as bad now.
You put me to shame! I must get mine sorted!
The only thing is that in the two years since I did the pond, I haven't seen one frog!
