Yes, I realised that Soz...

Pond Plants don't normally come in just yet in this area anyway, as they are tender so not advisable to plant until all threat of frost has gone..

Hmmmm, well I've put marsh marigold, marsh mint, yellow iris and a dwarf water lilley in the pond. I've also planted another iris and water mint in the water feature (got that off freecycle this weekend).
The pond is only small so hopefully once the plants pick up (they are still in their pots) then they will provide enough cover.
I've already seen some mating insects on the leaves so fingers crossed

I have a visitor to my pond! Was cleaning out behind my shed next to the pond, and nearly squashed the poor fella, so took him over.......hope he stays, though I doubt it coz' not much plant action going on yet.
