i love your ponds... the one wrapping around the tree is an inspiration for me... i have an idea, just gotta figure out how to put it in motion! will that one have fish too?
I can get you some of the*************(<<<<<I'll fill in when remember name,that feathery stuff underwater....brain freeze)And have lizzards tail.I can just pack up with the lillys. Your ponds are nice.I like the shade one,but hate cleaning the leaves.Thats the same pond I have in center of brug island.
I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
donna thanks! im going to check out petsmart! wallyworld wanted 75bucks for a pump! and yes hanging plants are a must! i thought about getting baskets to set the tiers in and planting in the baskets becide the tiers, now im thinking od just making flower boxes and useing bark on the outside of them so it blends in with the logs. either way what ever i put the tiers in is gonna be big enough for the tiers and plants :)
thanks njoynit! i would love that! let me know how much postage to send ya! *big smiles* yep its a mess with leaves right now, i clean it out real good in spring, then just keep up with it with a net, i get frogs in it :)

so far loz i just have water lilies that never bloom, tons of lilly pads though, i plan to get more. lots of diffrent kinds! :) my lilies are startin to grow! i seen em today!! im also wantin to get a solar pump for it, dont realy want to run a cord all the way down there. my hubby said he would dig and run a line, but with all the diging i do im scared ill dig into it in the futchure!
that would like nice jiffy! you have lots of trees around your house to, i always get the ones that fall over from the storms, also we have lots of bondfiers here and hubbys friends are always bringing fierwood. i used the last for the pond border, good thing summers getting here, need more wood for the garden,,,oops i mean bondfiers! ,,lol :) i cleaned out the lil pond today. waitin for it to refill up, and sent hubby out for fish!! yeaaa fish!

Triss.you would not say that if knew about Cindy's lil sex fens.I think some viagria fell in her pond though..............They multiplied by the 1000s.
pond looks great.You should have blooms opening on the pads I sent.One should open Tommorow while in transit. I'll have to shoot a picture of my pond.
I'm not using a pump on my pond.I have a frog that hangs out in it pretty much ConstantLY.I pull him out all the time and he returns or dives when I try to relocate.I'm hoping a few of the minnows are still in to help eat the sketteres.I've not reset up the other 2.

so now i know why i really like my half barrel pond. there isn't any shallows for my gold fish to act like cindy's!
not that they aren't trying, but the pond is too deep, everywhere, for it to work
oops i just found out last night my hubby got me koi fish! not coy fish. i think i coon got the grey hes gone, the top tier was knocked off, waterplants were every were and the grey was gone, i got another gold koi last night, its more of a yellow gold, and 6 goldfish. i cleaned out and planted impaience around he shade pond, will put the new fishys in it later when thet ajust to the water temps. their floatin in the bagies right now and the white hostas are up!!! wow! they realy stand out.
That is so pretty!! It gives me a nice peaceful sigh to look at it! Just what I needed! Is that a bench behind it? Can we see a close up? The framing looks interesting.
WOW Christy - that looks sooooo nice! Is that impatiens growing all around it? I only have luck with them sporadically, usually not - yours look so healthy!
