As all of you know I love my little pond, I could spend many a hour sat right by the side watching the wildlife enjoying the water. Insects flying around the waters surface and frogs faces appear out of nowhere, then when the evening sets in they jump out ready to go on slug hunting duties. Bees buzz around the surrounding borage and butterflies enjoy the few remaining zinnias. I’ve spotted tiny frogs, large frogs and even one sitting inside the frog house next to the evergreen grass! This is my most favourite spot, not only does it bring me happiness but it caters for the all important wildlife which in turn help with those darn slugs…
If I still own plot 15c next year then the plan is to surround the area with more flowers, this year was a bit of a flop and the area looked empty and sad. I’d like to add more perennials and more bright coloured annuals to grow amongst them, and hopefully next year all 4 sunflowers will survive along the back! Ideally I’d like this area to be as natural and untouched as possible, making it the perfect home for all shapes and sizes. My little wildlife haven sat next to the shed and surrounded by homegrown goodness…

Lovely update we have toads and frogs in the garden with a smaller pond byt they like hiding in my compost i think ready for the winter plus the bugs that are in they as pond is to small to put any plants in have a blessed day
Thank you Linda. Ponds are great aren’t they, no matter how big or small they are they will attract the wildlife and it’s so fun to watch.
Are you considering giving up the allotment? Moving to Wales perhaps? I’m jealous of your little frogs to eat your slugs- I just pulled off a dozen on Sunday. I need to figure out a new plan of attack next year before they get a second year to decimate my brassicas!

I would in a heartbeat! 🙂 The frogs are great fun but a huge distraction, they seem to be doing their job though which is great. You should definitely have a pond! x
