And it has been hot work over the last few days! The blue snake is the conduit for the pump cable; and the black snake is the hose which will carry the water from the pump round the back into the gabions and then out through a rill back into the pond. Once, that is, we have found someone to do the stainless steel fabrication to make the rill base. So I guess I'd better produce a drawing or two...
You can see the bog garden is now apparently all mud but the pond water level is a bit low so we have to find more topsoil from somewhere...
If you look at this view it looks pretty much finished. Good eh?
Alan meanwhile has completely dismantled two of the the three stable panels that formed the end stable, we hope this will provide enough framework and cladding to repair the rest of the block.
Veg update - still got some of the last of the spring cabbage; french beans going into full production mode; courgettes en route; cucumber glut; garlic harvest very disappointing. Salad stuffs various about the place. Strawberry harvest (now over) was excellent. International Kidney new pots possibly the best flavour we've ever grown apart from Pink Fir Apple.
