Pond 2007

Very nice creation! You are a very hard worker in getting your yard looking so nice.

I dont mind hard work Talljim as the out come makes it all worth it :) This area was all Rough Grass when i moved into my Council Home in April last year,No gate or fence2keep people out&dog in, All the Reed screen i put up myself because the old fence behind it looked awful & i am very SURPRISED its still up lol:D Just done bit by bit as my bugget is also tight,still Places in Garden that need doing but im getting there SLOWLY

Looks GREAT Jacque, I like the size of it.

Love your pond, looks great. ! Love the heron statue,it looks real.

You've made a great job of this Jac - looks really natural. I love the frog too! I hope you get lots of real frogs - they're great at zapping slugs.

Im Scared of REAL FROGS :( i jump out my skin if they jump&scream real loud loll&that frogs had a paint job since this pic 2:D

You might be surprised by the allure of a pond and the sound of water will bring many creatures to investigate... I agree with Buzzbee and Sid...frogs are great. Last summer I had a female toad singing her siren song in my pond all night long tweeeeeet twweeeeeett....I thought I'd be cracking up by the time she finally moved on...but not so...after awhile I didn't even hear her...slept like a baby...maybe it was a lullaby for the strings of eggs she left wrapped around the waterlilie's stems...The fish thought it was a bonanza...i didn't have to feed them they just gobbled down the toad eggs. Kinda sad. all those poor little embrionic toads... but that's nature. I should touch wood, but, between the frogs, toads and birds in my garden I have not had slug problems...

I agree with Bussbee and Lori - I have a very old pond, which I can only get to with difficulty coz v. overgrow. But it is full of frogs croaking in the summer and I have my hostas nearby and they never get damaged by slugs

Your pond is lovely.

Thanx Tasteyg this is an old Pond Pic its bigger now with a waterfall & Uv/Bio Filter to stop water going green :)
