My father loved gardening and so I decided to mooch around ours today and remember him with even more focus.
I ended up at the new pond and was pleased to see that ‘Wrigglers’ had taken up residence at last.
I could also see tiny unidentified flies crossing the surface and minute insects beneath.
The Bogbean continues to sprout and one shoot is 75cm long.

Since my last post we have added more Frogbit, some Marestail and Myriophyllum.

The Typha that we originally planted has now trebled in length.
Typha minima
The plants around the perimeter are thriving and they too are increasing in height.
The Marsh Marigold had taken a bashing due to the weather but we are expecting a second flush of blooms soon🤞🏻
It's almost looking as though it's been there forever!
ReplyDeleteAbout 6 weeks worth. Thanks yet again for commenting
DeleteThe pond is looking good. I'm glad you were able to remember your dad in a place he loved to be - in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He was rarely happier than being in the garden except for being with mum.
