So the pond area was time consuming and messy yet again which was where my idea came from...after all I am always looking for making things easier to take care of and looking more improved.
So off to homebase I went yesterday morning with Juliette and we bought weed membrane and wood and then set to sorting things out yesterday afternoon.
Juliette helping on the bee plot |
sorting out the water feature. |
Juliette did as much work as me and then complained at our resident photographer Annabel (her daughter) that she only took photos of her when she wasn't actually doing anything...lol |
just a couple of finishing touches taking place.... |
And in goes a post. |
So what do you think so far?? It is not finished yet but I do have a picture of the completed project so far...want to see?? Well if you don't just stop reading now as I am going to post a couple anyway!!
So here you can see it so far. It isn't totally finished yet put we are pleased with what we got done before leaving. |
Wood has been put round the edge and membrane put down to prevent weeds. Stones will go on top of the membrane and a few plants put in around the pond. |
It is still a work in progress and there are a few things yet to be sorted but once it's complete then I will take some more photos for you to see featuring all the little quirky things we have added to give it a little bit of character.
I would just like to say thank you to Annabel and Elysia for providing the photos for this post!!

No wonder you were fed up of having to move all that. What would we do without weed control membrane?
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot to move wasn't it?? I do like them there though...I think it adds a little something to the plot...flowers and herbs will be next. I am really pleased with how things are looking so far!!
DeleteGood idea and I look forward to seeing more of the work in progress.
