Pond Island

That is so very beautiful Dawns, stunning.

Agree, stunning like it always is, love your garden.

Very nice.

That looks incredible Dawn. You really have made some amazing strides with your pond planting....so colourful! :)

Really beautiful Dawn, the rheum look amazing and a flower spike!!!!!, they've loved all the rain haven't they :-))

Those are beautiful in both shape and colour

Dawn the pond is looking so beautifull, love the rheum to, you should be very proud of yourself :o)))

Fabulous pond and planting Dawn....

Stunning Dawn

Great to see you looking a lot 'happier' today Paul ;)

Becky's back ;)))) and the sun's out football and snooker :D

Oh, all your Christmases at once then? lol ;))

yes lol - or sunny days :D

Thanks Pimpernel, Carol, Martyn404, Karen, San, Mot, Paul.
Love everything about Rheum Brian, gunnera was my favourite but Rheum are earlier and tougher. Even better as I've grown them from seed.
Hi Kathy, I hadnt thought that the rain had helped :). Yes, a flower spike :). Have 3 with flowers coming.

yes Gunneras are fab!!!!

Contemplating if we are getting a frost tonight Paul, what do you think? If so, need to cover the gunnera.

Fleeced the garden - and covered Gunnera - never thought I'd be doing this in May - as low as minus 2 here where we are - Scotland minus 6 !

Well reminded you two going to fleece mine now..:))

yes definitely Pimpernel - very annoying hard frost for this time of year

It is looking fantastic Dawn, love your planting, must be great to just let plants grow as large as they want to!!

That is stunning Dawn, would love to get a little boat out and paddle around your lake ;0)

Thankfully no frost ladt night afterall.

Thanks DD, I need plants that just like to expand lol. Not alot of pruning goes on here.
Hi Pansy, I'd love to have a little rowing boat.

Well if you get one Dawen I will pay you a visit lol

Stunning!! Pond? looks more like a lake..

Thanks Bill.

Hi Pansy, you can visit with or ithout the boat lol

So beautiful :o)

Fabulous Dawn , you should be very proud of yourselves for creating such a master piece x

Oh wow Dawn, thats gorgeous! What stunning planting around your lake, fabulous!

Its so lovely to see those large plants in a very natural invironment, you`ve done a great job Dawn hard to image a small seed growing into such a large plant, bet you feel proud.

Thanks Annella.
Thanks Amy, you are too kind and you too Janey.
Hi Stroller, personally I get more pleasure growing from seed than buying established plants, just have to be a bit patient I guess.
