Isn't it annoying when you're all geared up and end up not being able to anything?
At least I've got another week now to swot up on what I need!!

Yes, I think it makes it easier and more pleasurable if you've got some plans before you start. I often write out a plan of action, so I do jobs in the right order, and have everything that I will need to hand. It makes it so much easier and therefore more pleasurable, and certainly less stressful.So you've got some time to sort things out and decide what you need, and get it. and decide on a plan of action...Good Luck, let us know as you go along what you decide...Posie...

Thanks for your replies Posie,
I'll let you know how I get on. My son's promised to come around this week to re-build the edges and put some more cobbles down, so hopefully I'll be able order some more plants for the pond and surrounding areas next week.

Hi Guys I now have a Big male frog in my pond to go with my very round girl .I disturbed him while playing with the arrangement of surrounding stones .It was very comical he was so lethargic he just fell into the water as if he could hardly move a muscle and was at deaths door .but I reckon it was just a clever sham. Boys will be boys !

The above behavior is because he is the only male there, just wait till another one arrives and he's not got it all to himself, he'll soon wake up and start throwing it about then ! ! ...Typical !..

Hi Posie You are so right ! I can just envisage all the pushing and shoving ,puffing and preening that will happen when other suitors turn up ,just the same as a Saturday night in Richmond

Horror of Horrors just found Prince Charming Immobile and fished him out seems really were his last throws Big Boo Hoos .I have brought him inside he is as thin as a pin perhaps he might recover and I'll go down stairs to find him Leaping about if I leave him a few hours . Prospect is Gloomy I Only found 1 and that was bad enough I really feel for you guys who have found tons and it almost makes me pleased to have a tiny pond instead of a mere mere .

just looked at the pond but still no activity, but i am concerned (now i can see the bottom cuz its a bright day) that its very silted up, its about 1m deep in the middle and i can see the silt is leaving only about 30cm of clear water, so when the water warms up i assume that the water will be affected by all this silt and may go stagnant; help; i might vac some silt out later in the season and dump it next to the pond is this a good idea, anyone esle got this problem???
