We were in the garden today topping off the new bamboo fence with chicken wire to extend the height. As we stood next to the old pond I wondered if the frogs have snuggled down in the mud for winter? We need to replace the liner, but it’s going to be too cold for a few months. Perhaps we should wait until after frogspawn season.

Frogs seem to have controlled the slug population, we have Hostas happily growing next to the pond, and the leaves look healthy. Now we’ve got on top of the fencing issue I feel a little safer.

Although a man did walk along the alleyway today as we were working, hubby told him to go away in no uncertain terms!
