Tesco Summer Watergarden

Tesco Summer Watergarden
My not really eating chocolate (or any sweets particularly) makes easter a bit more of a challenge (gift-wise) for Flyingpops than it would have been otherwise, so when we spotted this in Tesco earlier on today she pounced on my interest and decided it would be perfect, unfortunately it does mean I now have to spend ten quid on an egg for her... ;)

Anyway, here's what you get in the box -
What you get in the box...
- essentially -
1 x waterlily nymphea
1 x arrowhead sagittaria japonica
1 x pontederia cordata
4 x bags of pond soil pellets
2 x bags of ornamental gravel
- you pop in the "soil pellets" then you decide on the arrangement -
Decide on the arrangement
- bury the bulbs securely (so they don't float around, I guess) "Firm planting is essential" (as it says in the procedure document) -
Bury securely...
- fill slowly with rainwater (from my water barrel) -
Fill slowly...
- and then "place in a position with a sunny aspect" (next to the lavender should do the trick) -
Place in a sunny position...
Lets see what happens! :) Never had any water dwelling plants before (apart from the ones the goldfish chew up)... ;)
