New pond - we have water

Green perfection have done their bit - now I have to tidy it up and stock it with wildlife and plants.

I kept some tadpoles in a bucket of old pond water which I shall be putting in soon. We need to wait until all the chlorine has evaporated and the water starts to go green before we put the pump on. A couple of weeks after it was first filled.

I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to get going on the aquatic plants - the garden centres near here have a good selection.
