Your pond looks lovely and your plants will fill in nicely when the nice weather arrives and you head to your local plant nursery. Bring lots of money cuz it'll cost ya

Very nice mogsie, all my plants are sleeping right now too, except the evergreens. You might want to put a few low growing evergreens around to have some color and texture when all else is winter sleeping.

very nice.It looks like it took alot of field rock

living on the coast sandstone and sedimetary mud stone is abundant ! infact cumbria/ lake district is full of stone quarry's and slate mines

We hauled a few truck loads of rock from our land in pa. Then also bought 5 pallets of rock, each 3500 lbs or so, then around 3800 lbs of river rock..............and still need some more rock.

mogsie, rocks and plants make the pond look great. Adds a natural slant to it.

 

[mogsie]

yes they do, ive also planted alot of nativeplant species to to try and keep it looking natural ! ferns and bullrushes etc

 

[addy1]

It is going to look great, I am looking forward to seeing how all the new plants I put in last year do.

 

[mogsie]

yes addy, it is a waiting game, but it will be worth it in the end, looking forward to seeing pics of your bog garden when everything grows,

Nice pond mogsie, and it will look wonderful when the plants come back to life! Addy1, I'm interested in that bog garden too. I have a small bog area right now that didn't have much in it when we got here and I'm looking to add to it. I want a few pitcher plants too, as they are actually native to this area.
