Just realised I hadn't put up any pics of my garden flowers in a while, so thought you may enjoy these (please ignore the fact the grass has not been mown, next door is having a new fence put in, and the landscapers stuff is all over our lawn lol).

This is OH's little wild life pond, with my lovely hebe I planted months ago :)

If you look carefully at the leaves, you may just see a little teeny frog/tadpole :D

The grass around the pond is a wildflower mix and we have sweet peas and poppies that have come up already :)

My pinks, rosemary and climber (my fave :D)

Great pictures! Love the wildlife, the flowers and the veg :-D The pond pics are super . . . I'd love a pond but don't have the space.

Alex, looking great! I love the pond, is that a plastic liner, or one of the shaped forms you sink? Love the froglet too, and the rosemary bush looks really healthy and flourishing.

thanks all :D

Eileen, it's one of those pre formed shapes (another freecycle moment lol). It's not very big at all, but just nice to have that little bit of water in the garden :D

I asked because that's what mine is ... ideal for a small yard where there's not a lot of room for a real pond; but gives you the pleasure of a little water feature and a water lily. And not deep enough for a silly cat who thinks he can walk on lily pads to come to any harm... :-D ..... except harm to his dignity after falling in and getting all mucky!
