Frog World Is Open For Customers
Jan. 12th, 2008 10:43 pmIf there are any frogs out there looking for a new pond within their price range, this may be the thing for you!
Yes, Frog World is finally a fact; dug, lined and filled. Landscaping is a work in progress but there are now some water plants IN the pond - let's hope I manage not to kill my very expensive water lily - and soon there'll be more plants around it and the very best groundcover, sourced from my massive patch of native daisies which grew from a tiny, depressed plant handed over by my mother. Anything which can survive that beginning and thrive should do fine around the pond.
Unfortunately I'm too late to get tadpoles from the large pack who lived in my landlords' ex-swimming pool, they having sprouted legs and left. The tadpoles, not Don and Lena. I believe they had legs already. So I'll be waiting for the next lot or perhaps surreptitiously checking out the water sources at the local nursery, who told me sometimes tadpoles just appeared there.
I'm quite pleased with how it looks. It's been a lot of work but extremely satisfying.
[edit: Yes, there are Before and After photos!]
