yes there is one!....................filled up the pond and did a bit of tidying and there he was sticking his slimy little nose through the duckweed...................i just hope he's got a lady friend or the wildlife pond may be short-lived...................will he sing i wonder?...............while tidying i noticed a mysterious purple plant that seems to have appeared next to the heather by the pondside, no idea what that is..................the Michaelmas daisies have now formed a huge clump, and there's something else appeared that looks like one of the stocks, but nowhere near the others...............
...............we ate the first courgettes and yellow squash last night, bursting with pride. so easy, and so pretty. the chilies are coming on well................so are the gooseberries..............however the veggie patch has become very overgrown with potato foliage. no idea if there are actually any potatoes under it..................suspect not with it having been so dry, but then we weren't even trying to grow them last year and up they came..............some more foliageis fighting its way out of the compost.................the onions may have had it, being smothered with borage and potato, but i've cleared it a bit and we'll see what's there once it dries out..............
.............put in the Lychnis from Redhall and some more of Mum's kaffir lilies...............there's a bit of a gap just now when the poppies and bleeding-hearts are finished and before the montbretia come out, so i need to put some more perennials in. need more salads too as they've been chewed somewhat.................corn salad is on its way but i might try some under cloches to keep the snails off...............
