I still haven't bought my water fountain yet. I did order 60 water hyacinths and some water lettuce. The Electrical and Fountain is what will take so long to complete. $$$$$$$
With the cross ties being painted, and 70% covered, I am goin to try growing some cannas in a few spots to hide the rough damaged cross ties. If they do badly then I will remove them. Just an experiment.
I planted my 2 willows and 2 mimosas yesterday. They do not show up in photo cause they are just 4 foot tall twiggy sticks for now. The company that shipped them trimmed all their leaves off and trimed most of the roots. I was disappointed. The trees are planted 13 feet from each corner of the pond.
My plan is to have my own botanical garden in the front yard.
The very front yard has a circle drive shaped kinda like a Triangle. The drive is 200ft x 230 ft x road frontage of 230 ft. Thats just the drive area.
In that triangle is where I am putting the botanical garden with at least 3 water gardens hopefully. Down one side of the drive is differant colored Crape Myrtles.
Then there is about 75ft to 100 ft of road frontage to each side of the circle drive. One side already has a mini orchard of young apples, plums, figs, pears, cherries, peaches, and mature grapes and blueberries.
The other side of the circle drive is my greenhouse business.
Water Gardening is just a hobby ---for now.
