Well it rained all week and I really wanted to do something in the yard this weekend. Weather was still bad So I Made a 30 Gallon Tub Water Garden for the deck. I guess I just can't let go of container gardening even with the new yard.
I planted a Water
lily and some Sweetflag and then potted a Water Canna Pretoria to go beside the tub. Walmart had a Kit with the
plants in it for about 10 bucks the
plants are in baskets and ready to go. I had an old bottom half of a plastic 55 gallon drum laying around. Then I added a small pump and fountain I still got the set up in the house Untill it gets a little warmer. Now I think I will get a filtration system as well as some oxygenating
plants so I can put a few Comet Goldfish in it.
This will make a nice addition this summer outside. My bedroom is upstairs and I have a wrap around deck off the bedroom. From The deck I will be able to look down at the koi pond when It is constructed. And past that will be the Vegetable Garden. And I am still looking at building the larger water garden in the yard.
This is the 5th straight day of rain. Its flooding down here in Sunny Florida!
Hope you don't get washed away!
The whole apparatus is constructed on a 4 wheel dolly. Of course I didn't think of it untill I had it full of water! Had a struggle but got it in the dolly. And I measured the door to make sure it will clear.
