The garden develops

Jun 10th, 2008 by Chris

Things are starting to look great in the garden now. The brown mess that was the lawn after it had been scarified is now lush and green, and the new area of lawn is starting to look a bit like a lawn. The wild flower meadow has been a little disappointing. We’ve had no flowers, but the grasses are coming on well. It’s a huge change from what things looked like just after the garden makeover

The garden

One of the great joys has been the pond. It’s teaming with life. The tadpoles are just starting to develop legs. There are damsel flies, a plethora of mini beasties, a couple of frogs and we were delighted to see a newt the other day. It’s quite amazing how much wildlife has just arrived in our little hole in the ground.
