Now we have the floods again, Just as it was drying out! Next time must remember to empty the barrow and turn it over :-/

Have you noticed, the wall is nearly finished :-) no don't think it will spoil. Thing is, it's got to get used to it hasn't it!!
The big black tub is what we're going to use instead of a liner for our little pond. We're going to sink it so it's lower than the wall and build a little wall round it. Then we're going to have a mill stone topped with pebbles just above the water line so the water pumps up through the wheel and runs over the side and back into the tub. Then we'll have a few goldfish in it for added interest. Well, that's the plan anyway!!

Joannie:
One year, at Chelsea Show, there was a gold medal winning water garden which had a special feature of pavings level with the water, just like your soggy patio.
What you have in your garden is ART.
Please be proud of your amazing design.
Look out, Chelsea Garden Designers in 2009.
Joannie is on her way with her creative landscaping.
