Had mushrooms for a few days around the pond 😁 usually a sign of good soil 👌👍

Back on the pond!! I ended up draining it and removing a lot of sludge and leaf litter, filled it half way with treated tap and left it at that. The rain and snow has filled it the rest of the way up.

Sadly I didn’t get around to adding the new plants around the pond as planned ( Lobelia × milleri 'Queen Victoria', gladioli’s and liatris spicata ) as the rest of the weekend and Monday was written off with serious abdominal pain, which quickly escalated into a GP visit followed by a night and most of the next day in A&E!

Judging by the weather today, it was probably a good thing I didn’t get around to planting them!!

Getting there now! turns out I’ve got mild appendicitis, which hopefully my immune system can mostly rectify! Waiting to hear back about scans to make sure everything is ok, else it’s removal.
