Finished pond with its newly placed rocks! |

Despite the sulking dark skies and sullen clouds to say nothing of the incessant drizzle and freezing temperatures, most of Saturday was spent around the pond with Chris moving exceptionally heavy rocks and boulders and me shouting, 'Left a bit. Left a bit more!' The very biggest and heaviest rock had always been a bit of a historical garden landmark as, since time immemorial, it had resided in the top of the Woodland Border - quite a trek from the pond! Chris managed to roll it on to a sack truck and drag it to the pond before rolling it uphill on a wet and slippery wooden plank into position. Well done Chris!
Other jobs done were to divide and plant some hardy Geraniums and also plant out Lilies-of-the-Valley, move a Eucalyptus and some huge clumps of Nerines. It was pretty heavy (pun intended) wet and miserable going in freezing temperatures. Last Saturday in was in the 70's and yesterday it was way down in single figures. Little wonder we Brits are always droning on about our weather!! Where exactly did spring go??

It doesn't look much here but this was the heaviest rock of all! |
