Winter pond

thats a pretty fountain ~ what is the juniper looking evergreen bottom right please ~ it looks lovely

Thanks Sticki...juniperus conferta I think. :)

very nice indeed! might look for one of those.

LOVE your pond Karen . . . such beautiful colours in the rocks too!

Thanks Sheila....the small pebbles are from the beach, so they are very colourful, thanks.

That's superb Karen - I want a fountain now

That looks lovely - any frogs and toads ignoring this - need their heads looked at :)

and toad away lol

Ha ha Paul, looks champion K.....

Lol...thanks everyone. This fountain came in to being by accident. I bought a new solar panel and pump for my wall-mounted water feature, but it didn't work, so they sent me a new replacement (primrose, excellent service). They didn't want me to send the faulty one back though, and OH cleverly managed to break the plastic in a creative way and get it to work (there was a faulty connection point), so I put it to good use in the pond. It took me ages to cobble together a system to get to to the correct height, and the air was blue, as I used all my garden tools to 'dredge' the bottom, and all the stones and the fairy kept falling in...it was a good comedy for the neighbours!

I bet the neighbours are impressed now . . . I am!

Lol...Sheila, they are probably rolling their eyes, as I've been out painting my arches this morning! About a fifth of them done....greenhouse next. They are all going dark green...looks fine so far!

What an example you are Karen - I'm shaking my head in admiration. What a relief that I haven't your energy, lol :))

Time to put the kettle on and have a look at the crossword . . .

How can they resist Karen. it looks so inviting and pristine for this time of the year, mine has been frozen for most of this year;0(

Yes, I've had a lot of frozen pond days too Carole!

Lol Sheila.....about half done on the arches......MIT get it finished tomorrow if the weather holds. Need to get it done soon, as the climbers are starting to grow! The birds were singing out there. Spring is coming!:)

Yes, we've had some quite cheery birdsong today . . . I guess they're looking forward to the Spring as much as us (and about time too!!).

It is only February ladies, sorry to point this out.........can be a very tricky month!!

Quite right A, but the light is different, and some of my plants are starting to grow....so we are making some progress towards spring....slowly....slowly.

catchee monkey so the saying goes.....

I can't believe I am on here at pst midnight...my eyes are stinging! Goodnight all! :)

I thought it was rather late for you to be up K........my usual time, never in bed before midnight...
