Why Jess's Garden


As I think about it now, I chose the name because I garden to create a space that I want to share with my family.
This blog has now evovled to be a discussion about how I'm attempting to create a personal and physical home for my family.
Creating a garden is a key part of that process, but it is not the only part, so I feel the different parts of this blog are all congruent to the same goal.

1st Annual 'Save The Frogs Day

As brought to my attention by Stuart today is the 1st Annual 'Save The Frogs Day .

I have been considering how I can attract frogs into my garden. We already have a pond, but it was not very frog friendly due to being
* Deep
* Steep
* Close to the house and a long way from the gardens.
* Goldfish donated by a friend
I have been working to add things to the pond to make it more friendly. There are now ways for the frogs to climb in and out of the pond, and we have extended the garden so it comes right up to the pond. Now I just have to lose the goldfish, not sure how to go about that.
I am currently creating a wildlife friendly native garden at the back of the yard and I'm looking into how to create a bog garden, which will hopefully increase the frog friendliness of our overall garden.
