Over the past year, reading URG has made it possible for me to get a
grip on the garden that goes with our house (an established garden
that had been neglected for a few years), and I am proud to say that
all the reading material on here has contributed to my now sprouting
carrots, parsnips, peas, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach and sprouts.
And the potatoes are chitting away as we speak.

It has also made it possible for me to get to grips with the
necessary
maintenance and to get things sorted.

The penultimate project is the garden pond. We recently discovered
the
natural waterinlet for it (from a stream) and overflow and have now
been able to reestablish the waterflow into and out of the pond.

I have drastically reduced the growth in the pond, and the water is
clearing up by the day. It is inundated with tadpoles, which I enjoy
watching greatly.

I would like to add some fish to this pond, preferably of the type
that will keep the plant growth down, but will leave the tadpoles in
peace. Can anyone point my nose in the right direction for the type
of
fish that I would need for my pond, and whereabouts in North Wales I
might be able to get them?

Oh, I hope everyone likes Belgian chocolates, I've put them on the
bench overthere ggg

May you have many more happy gardening years.
