Delurk with chocolates and a question

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. All this in a year? What a shame you don't want a job in S. Devon! ;-) gggg Well I did say it's the penultimate project. I've managed to get the herb garden, vegetable patch and display bit of the garden at the front of the house back into shape. The ultimate project will be the rise at the back of the house, which is about three times the size of all we've done now, and which also used to be an established garden, albeit a "wild" one. We've discovered pondlets, streams and lots of obviously planted greens (as opposed to naturally occuring) and we're still in the process of figuring out the exact lay out of it all so that we can restore it. Seriously, it's always nice when someone comes back to tell us how they got on, so both 'well done' and 'thank you'. I couldn't have done it without all the excellent reading material on this group, it made it so much easier to come to grips with what needed doing!
