This weekend ...

... we continued the pond saga. We went and bought some water plants. Mr Brown finished the plugging up process with some sticky white stuff (after performing a highly technical manoeuvre with a nail). And planting a new salvia, to make up for all the stuff we hacked away last weekend. We also bought a tiny pump for $7.50 (twas on a pallet at Bunnings, it's a better woman than I that could resist such a bargain. Mr Brown's already tested it in the sink, works!), It came with a hideous frog but Mr Brown can tweak it so we don't need that. And now we wait till NEXT weekend.

ooh - sounds good.

I always wanted to do this with half a wine barrel.

A frog? What kind of frog? Something hideous cast in porcelain or concrete?

cast porcelain me thinks, painted a sort of bronze green - tres icky, I may bury him at the bottom of the garden.
H&B - Wine barrels look great but you have to be careful with the seepage of wine into the water (drunk or dead fish), problem solved with a plastic liner I would think!
