Wildlife Area Transformed!!

Well done Great with the warm weather coming it will soon transform.

This is looking really good..Nice one

Thanks Guys!

Looks good.

Nice pond Great, hope you get some frog visits :-)

....don't forget to post updates as the plants grow! Once it warms up they will flourish.

I will potty. Its amazing me that the birds have found the pond already. Mr & Mrs blackbird are frequent visitors already!!!!. And the sparrows and bluetits are courting above the pond not quite x rated behaviour though lol. They do look funny. My daughter thought they were fightening!
Richard I hope once I get some plants in there and the pond stabalises the frogs will come. If not Im coming to yours to collect some ha ha

I don't know where my frog is gone too now Great. I hope he (or she) will return!:-)

Don't worry Richard perhaps he/she has gone away for the bank holiday lol They'll be back Im sure

Hope so Great -I hope he/she is having better weather than us here :-)

Well I don't know aout your part of the world. But here it started raining at 4pm YESTERDAY and it is STILL raining. My new wildlife area will be washed away!!! It has only stopped for about an hour earlier today!! boo hoo

It is not raining here in Leicestershire today Great but it is very cold outside-no gardening for me today. Hope you don't get washed away in all that rain :-)

looking forward to seeing more of this great pond. Look out for newts as well. Sure you'll get some. Damsel and dragon flies as well. Roll on summer!

Songthrush, I feel like a child again. I check the pond twice a day to see whats happening. Nothing much yet, escept for the birds visiting, so thats a start. once I have some plants in there im sure nature will take over!

had a look at ur pond, it luk great, wot plants do u have.? we used lot of reclaimed stuf to make our. those hole wud be gud to plant in wth mimilus which likes damp, primulas the tall candel type i think ,sum ferns on 1 side. lots of small bog pants in the holes so they can spread and cover the bricks u will get wild life moveing in as well. have a look in the pond sect, i love things to luk nateral and so does nature. i put little stones round mine as well so things can live in and under these. happy to help any time ,let me no bt ideas . and pics please.

No plants in the pond Christina - not yet anyway. I have sown seeds in the holes in the bricks plus inside the holes I've planted creeping Jenny and lobelia and poached egg plant

that will look gud , a bit of hieght as well will look nice, ferns maybe!!!!

Does not matter how big pond is, put a small pump in and a few small marginal plants in and around it. will attract wildlife

Thank you Grandad, , Dont like electricity in the garden, it worrys me. How many plants do you suggest I have in my pond?
