I'm determined to get rid of most all the tall ugly weeds growing around our pond. No Koi Japanese pond here, rather , an old fashion catfish, bass and bream pond that's got its share of skeeters, bullfrogs and snakes. Im taking manageable sections at a time, amending the soil for "no dig beds" and planting mini-gardens with paths to the pond on each side. I want the bullfrogs to have a home so I want some naturalization.

I'm making my wish list of drought tolerate plants for one side of the pond where the water hose won't reach! And another wish for color and combinations. I want lots of coneflowers, and wild flowers instead of wild weeds!

Keep planning ya'll! Great thread!
