I prepared my garden for the summer.
I swept it. 
My front garden needs weeding, but I ran out of napalm.

Emptied Pond i had 27 fish, a hoard of frogs and some (common) newts. All have gone to new homes.
Took liner out and discovered more frogs .
Going to start bashing the walling in tonight and fill it in and grass over the top - shame i know but a 4ft deep pond and a one year old and 4 yr old ....well they just dont mix do they !
Then it's on to tackle the massive bush !
Anyone want any pond plants ? |

My Mum keeps hinting at me clearing out her pond again. I do it every spring.
I would never of built her the pond if I knew I would be cleaning it for the next 8 years.  |

I hate to say it Angel but last night "Over the garden fence" my lovely neighbour asked what i was doing with them. She's taken pretty much most of them off of me !
I do have 1 x Water lily and 1 x Grass . The grass is quite a big plant, im not sure what species it is but it looks quite nice. The Lily is a single plant and they're both yours if you want them !

I've got to erect a trampoline in the next week or so (we bought the thing from Focus months ago and it's still in the box). Is it one of those trampolines which has it's own protective net surround? If so, what are they like to assemble??

Yes. This one is only 4 foot Diameter.
Your fingers will hurt if it is toggles like mine. The bigger ones have springs round the outside which are easier. But these toggles....... :evil:
It will need two of you. We found it easier to put it on its side to do the toggles. And keep to opposites.
Oh my poor fingers. . . . . .
Although, the kids old 3foot square trampoline thing is now available if anyone wants it. Bit discoloured as I have lots of trees behind the house, but otherwise fine. |
