Garden notes

The pond is about over flowing this year with the water iris, we have 4 distinct colours, yellow this deep purple, the lighter purple and a yellow, just stunning as they wave in the wind. Many are so heavy with flowers that they just fall over with their own weight.

I wish to divide them again but we will have to give away many as they are just too much for our little pond and the many fish are being overrun with water iris. Even the lilly's are not seeing thelight of day for the many fronds.


I cam home on the weekend to find that 3 of my fish had been given away, so sad, but the others are hiding anyway so have not seen them for a while. I am determined to get more space for them all. We may even take over the pool some day.
