Managed to sew most of the hearts onto my boarder, with just two corners to complete. I feel so much better in myself now I can find a bit more time to 'craft'.
The weekend weather was suppose to be wet and cold, so I had planned a part spring clean in our bedroom should Saturday be a wash out, or continuation of the garden should the sun be out to play. Guess which one it was...
Well to be fair I got to do both. The afternoon weather was much better than the weatherman has predicted - good old weatherman!. Bedroom spring clean in the morning and afternoon in the garden - sorting out the pond.
I can state a fact here, I absolutely hate cleaning the fish filters - thank goodness I generally only have to complete this task once every few months. With new filters with easy reach....
The filter was opened ..... with a great deal of grunting and groaning .. and eventually a kitchen knife to prise it open!
Pile after pile of blanket weed removed....
A surprising amount of pond life came away with the blanket weed this year...
This little site here, tells you about my little friends above. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/pond/
Sunday was far nicer than expected so another day in the garden - finishing the pond and some more work on the veg patch.
Pond plants, cut back, cleaned out and put back....
A check on the other plants....
I have to say I'm a dab hand at growing those yellow ones!!!
I have, however, discovered a problem ... someones been munching on my sunflowers. If I ever catch the little tike there is going to be trouble.
