WHEN the resident choir of male frogs that live in my pond strike up their croaking song, itâs a reminder to give it a tidy before the water fills with easily disturbed, delicate new life.
If left to their own devices, the remnants of spent stems around the edge will clutter around new growth before slumping into the water and turning to sludge. The same goes for leaves that have blown into the drink during winter. I use a net to fish them out before piling with the prunings on the bank, so any pondlife they harbour has time to find its way back to the water.
It was while âfishingâ for leaves that something caught my eye â a long-lost trowel, missing in action since bulb planting time. Iâd obviously left it in what I thought was a safe place, only for it to do a âTom Daleyâ into the pond. Its stint in the depths might have aged the wooden handle but, once dry, itâs nothing a coat of olive oil wonât cure. Many treasures have been lost to a pond, and finding my trowel brought to mind another. Violins at the ready, as I am talking about my familyâs fortune.
