I bought two new pond plants today to take over from two from the old pond. The sweet flag that’s probably got rust is going to be replaced by pickerel weed. Since the elodea took over and made a big web of roots, I plan to remove it. It’ll be replaced by a pot of water violet. I hope to put the pot down in the deep hole on top of the paddle stone. Just need to check the measurements.

I’ve put those plants in the storage tanks at the plot. In the evening I weeded all of Bed 7 and thinned the parsnips. There are also a few little radishes coming along, so maybe I’ll dot some more of that seed around the place for amusement. A big volunteer sunflower has been moved to Bed 9, where I believe a couple of new nasturtiums have arrived.
