Evelyn in Montreal<p>[see above 👆 for 1 year ago]<br>Just last summer my husband and I dug a pond in our backyard to serve as a wildlife refuge and pollinator garden. <br>Just one year later - in spite of our forest fire grey skies and lack of sun for most of July, the plants - both introduced and indigenous - are thriving and we’ve had lots and lots of happy visitors 😃 </p><p><a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/WildlifePond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildlifePond</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/PollinatorGarden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PollinatorGarden</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/Chateauguay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chateauguay</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/Montreal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Montreal</span></a> <a href="https://canada.masto.host/tags/et" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>et</span></a></p>

Penny and Patch<p>We've been trying to take decent photos of what's going on with the tadpoles and frogspawn in the pond but it's not going very well 😂 We need the 🌞 to come out and shine through the water! Some of the tadpoles are swimming around, others are still spawn. There's still frogspawn on the plant in the photo. We'll try again this week! 👍📷💕 <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/tadpoles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tadpoles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/frogspawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frogspawn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thirring.org/tags/wildlifepond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlifepond</span></a></p>
Sue Wood<p>Wildlife pond in summer. I am looking forward to watching the pond in the summer. The video shows a beautiful pink water lily and various other aquatic plants. There are several pond skaters moving on the surface.

Sue Wood<p>Wildlife pond. I took this video of my pond last summer. It is amazing to think, that 12 months before it was a hole in the garden, filled with a liner and water. It immediately attracted insects; flies, diving beetles and <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/dragonflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dragonflies</span></a>. The pond is now teeming with <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a>.

Sue Wood<p>Meadowsweet growing next to my wildlife pond. I can hear a friendly sparrow chirping in the conifer tree.

Sue Wood<p>Fox-and-Cubs or orange hawkweed is one of my favourite wildflowers. I grew these from seed and they have made a beautiful display around my wildlife pond.

Sue Wood<p>Wildlife pond. <br>I created a wildlife pond last year. I planted lots of native plants around it(from seeds). This is the result after 1 year. It is a very tranquil place to sit and enjoy the movement of the water and birdsong.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/wildlifepond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlifepond</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tranquility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tranquility</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mindfulness</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/summer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>summer</span></a></p>
