I’m sure it will change as we go on, but with the earthworks done and a few changes made, we now have a final plan!

Frogs

Posted on 3 March 2012 by Mark

As the digger removed the old pond, we found 15 frogs, no doubt somewhat upset by all the noise and destruction of their habitat. We took them to a nearby pond. This weekend, I found 7 more frogs in a pile of stones near where the pond was. Now that we have a new (if smaller) pond, they were delivered direct to their new home.

A new pond

With the garden properly plumbed, we were able to set up a small pond behind the garage. We’ll probably do something more permanent for next year, but for now the frogs and other wildlife should be happy with this one.
