    Still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the progress!
    Lots of wrigglies, what on earth are those wrigglies?
    The water is swarming with them.
    Anyway, this is now :yes:

          If it's a new pond then it's very likely to be mosquito lavre. Pics would be good :blue thumb:

                    Not really looking good, the bluebells have nearly finished in my 'woodland' - a rough area at the top of my garden:

                        My 2 geraniums that have enjoyed a cushy life in the mini GH over Winter. They are now enjoying the good life ( south facing) and have scrubbed up rather well. The variegated leaf one is "Frank Hedley " which I love. I've taken 3 cuttings and they are in a pot together with the dark Oxalis and a Petunia and will sit in the Communal garden for all to see as they pass by. P1080265.jpg P1080266.jpg

                            Just love that red Peony @JWK. Had one in Bucks ... it bloomed when we went on holiday ... I replaced it with a Ceoanthus so I could appreciate the blooms!
