Ideas for the site of my garden pond 2

Save the pictures to your pc or laptop.  Then open a post and on the toolbar at the top of your post you'll see an image of a tree - click on it, that will give you the option of seaching your files and finding the photo, then just follow the instructions to upload it.  

Even I can do it 

Beginner failing miserably.

Oh dear, don't give up - let's see if we can come up with some helpful suggestions.

Are you sowing them too thickly?  That can make them shoot up too tall like the cress you buy from the shops.

You really need to sow seeds very sparingly indeed, so that each seedling has lots of space.

Also, they don't need much water at all - just need to be damp. 

MORNING FORKERS

Good morning all 

I hope everyone's had a good night's sleep after the exertions of the weekend.  Matty, if you carry on feeling shattered maybe you should get yourself checked over - I used to feel like that and it turned out I had a thryroid problem.

Well, we didn't get the  overnightrain we were promised - if it doesn't rain soon I shall have to get the hosepipe out to water in the BF&B and potash in.

Hedgehogs have been out and about in the garden overnight - poo on the terrace and they've eated chopped peanuts and mealworms.

I'm back to work today, OH will be working in the studio so he can keep an eye on activities at Bluetit Manor

Gary, could you post a photo or two to give us a clear idea  

Good Evening FORKERS

Oh, you reminded me - I also potted on some hydrangea and sage cuttings which I took last year, and I also tidied up and repotted the Euonymous I bought from the Nearly Dead stall at the GC yesterday - it's looking much happier already 

It's ok folks - I've had roast chicken, roasted Crown Prince Squash, minted Majorcan new potatoes and broccoli - OH is washing up and I've got my feet up 

Where have all the hostas gone?

I have a group of 3 Sum & Substance - they're all about 1" tall at the moment

Glasses raised!!!

Oh dear - but old age comes to all of us 

 

And every time this happens we have a new planting opportunity   What are you going to replace them with?

Ground Cover Options?

My first thought is seed it with grass.

Gary - have a look at the Info for Newbies thread - it'll tell you how to make sure your query appears! 

Don't worry, you're not  the only one
