Watermint is nice, quite sweet really if I remember correctly. As soon as the water level goes down on the nearest river I am off to collect some. I did get some last year but it hated being inside in the dreary autumn we had, plants that overwintered last year gave up the ghost this year.

I am looking for plants that are grown in Latvia but first I need to know what they are in English, if they are edible and then look for them here. So thanks for the names, I can then check them out

Not sure that our pond is flowing so much as trickling, we have no idea how long it will carry on for. It is spring fed but we don't know yet if it is only a spring/autumn phenomenon or whether it will continue throughout the summer. We shall wait and see. We are hoping it is a permanent feature so we can use it to water our polytunnel.

I think we will have plenty of leaves in the pond, it is about 20m away from our forest.
