made a pond. frogs showed up. we're friends now.

i made a garden during quarantine, but my yard floods. i made some sloped drainage trenches on two sides of the garden that flow to a pond. frogs love the pond and i love the frogs. here's some pictures and stories and updates on the whole thing.

trenches working as intended, no puddles in the garden, you love to see it folks. my impromptu bridges come in handy when i'm trying not to get my socks & sandals muddy. i originally made em so i could get to all sides of my tomatoes back when they were bushes instead of long sad sticks.

this big pot is where I put everything from my garden that the bugs got to first, everything's thriving from all the compost. gourds, tomatoes, corn, sunflowers, and looks like some clovers made their way in too.
