Finally got around to starting on the area around our pond / summerhose at the weekends. Put the pond and summerhouse in a few years back, but then never actually go around to finishing it, as a toddler in the house meant everything was slow going. Actually getting around to it now shes getting old enough to play on her own, while we crack on with it.
Wed started the bog garden but half the soil from it was still heaped up next to the summerhouse, so got that back in this wekend, edged around the pond, as i'd just grassed right up to it, which was a real pain. Plan now is sleepers around the side, some edging around the lawn and then gravel the area, with some big rocks scattered about.
Parents are in the process of moving so the bog garden will mainly be populated with plants from theirs. Will sit the bridge back between the 2 ponds on a couple of railway sleepers to hopefully make the pond look like a bigger one.
