Yay! Someone moved in!

I have wanted a pond forever. As a kid I would never leave my mother alone about it but she insisted it would be too much work. And now I have my very own mini (micro) pond! I had an old tub that my horse used to drink from. It's about 2,5 foot wide and a foot deep. So I moved some rhubarb and dug a hole. Two days ago I put in the plants - and a day later the place was occupied. I'm so happy - there have been frogs in the garden but they didn't really have any water. This guy/gal moved in as soon as it was there. It's not much, but it's water and it attracts life! I'm hoping to see dragonflies next!

Congratulations!

It's a good-looking frog, at that!

Ooh, pretty!  And nice frog!

What's the parsley like plant?

My planned pond isn't much bigger, but I've been slacking.  Must get back to it!

Thank you! I shall pay the compliments forward to His/Her Majesty the Croaker!

The one with the fine leaves in the water? It is ranunculus aquatilis, white water-crowfoot (or common water-crowfoot).

Ah, thank you.  PFAF says it is very aggressive, but it's lovely.  I'll check it out when my pond is done!

It won't be too hard to control in a mini pond, I imagine!

That looks lovely! I'm glad the frog finds your pond wonderful. Hopefully it recommends it to its other friends hahaha.
