Think what I'll do is start to build a scrapbook of the plants I'd like... this will keep me busy in the boring winter evenings. I fancy a greenhouse too, but not sure where to stick it (if I could afford it :? ). I don't have room to over-winter plants :(

If you were going to buy them now I would still put them in. :lol: The weather forcasters are never right. And if it was a cold winter as long as there is enough rain I think they would be okay. On a different subject How are your rushes growing now? I cut back all my iris in the pond and they have already sent up new shoots.

The forecasters never seem to get it right Kristin :?

Alison... what a very brave enquiry :wink: Now I'll have to nip out and take a picture you know (chuckle). They are doing so well :D. Trouble with this laptop is I have to come offline to connect camera (a bit of respite for you all :roll: )!

????
You have more than one pond?
Is this on on the veranda? Plants are looking lovely, (I'm green with envy :oops: )
Are your Pond plants in pots? Or did you plant them directly on a shelf or something? It's very tidy and neat ;)
So what's wrong with the Duck-weed? (I think it looks great :? )

Kristin, I must say your English is excellent... and to be able to write it so well too :D

There is a small raised pond on my patio. Its made from railway sleepers. This whole area needs a while to mature / blend. The pond plants are in pots and have gone crazy. That reed was given to be by my dad... it was a cut down titchy thing when I got it (there's pics of its fast growth rate somewhere on this forum). As for the duck weed, I don't mind it in the small patio pond, but somehow its got into the big pond... mind you, I'd forgotten about it down there and it may be gone :D

ohh :oops: thanks Kaz - but I think my limited english vocabulary will become visible any day now ;)

Is the Duck weed such 'blasted stuff' because it grows too fast and suffocates other plants?
-one curious here, I'm planning for next spring you see, ... so good to know what to 'toss in there' and what to avoid ... ;)
