    Hi folks. This is my garden project so far. Started this last summer and its still ongoing.
    Just wanted to share these pics with you all and get your opinion.

    All the decking boards were purchased from B&Q whenever they had a sale on and were reduced down to £2.50 per board :D (bargain)

    I've always wanted a pond too, but when the kids were younger it was not really an option. Now they are grown up, i wanted the pond but not all the hassle of maintenance etc, so i come up with "The Pondtable". All run off solar power so no high leccy bills.

    I'm still a novice in the garden but am learning all the time. Got myself a greenhouse F.O.C. :D and planted loads of seeds which are doing nicely.


    This is my first post and i got a million questions regarding plants etc which i hope you will be able to help me with in the future.

    Have a nice day folks :D

    Thank you for a great site

              The pond table is pure genius, may I sugest perspex covers to replace the wooden ones at some point then you could still see your fish while you're eating
