We’ve been adding spent compost and weeding around the pond every time we visit the plot. I did plant a range of tulips around it and there are several day-lillies and iris laying dormant underground, but it still looks bare. I need to add some perennials once the bulbs have started growing to make it more attractive to sit around.
I spent a bit of time this weekend tidying up the pond. Mainly weeding as I never really dug out the horsetail from this patch of land before I put the pond in, and the spent compost I’ve been using to build it up keeps sprouting stray plants. I also levelled it off on one side and expanded the other. The plan is to put quite a few spring bulbs and some perennials in here to keep the weeds down and make a nice little corner for sitting next to in the summer heat. Well, that’s the plan anyway…
