More Pond Plants

23 - 25 June 2020

On Tuesday, our delivery from the waterlily nursery arrived.  Lots of plants to get in the water or the ground as quickly as possible.  The weather has gone very hot and sticky, which made this challenging.

 The stacked up plants, some for the pond and some trees and other items I couldn't resist.

 Unfortunately I had only a scribbled list of what we had ordered, so I had to spend quite a lot of time sitting in the shade working out what was what ...

 ... while Dave pickaxed out a hole in the dry ground for the ornamental banana designed to help shade the pond.

 All planted - I helped after a while!

 We found a dead baby goldfish this morning,  maybe we are running low on oxygen or high in ammonia.  Hopefully the new plants will help.

 The first of our new waterlilies to throw out a flower.  Lovely pink colour - and more importantly, large leaves.

Can't resist it: on Thurs Liverpool Football Club won the weirdest Premier League season in football history, after a 30 year wait.  Hurrah!
