Our pond isn't much.....we had a 5 x 7 wooden crate that was used for shipping a trade show booth....quit doing that and the crate was being sent to the Dump.....nope....mom and I got it, lined it with plastic and covered the bottom with river rock....much to mom's dismay I added water lilies, water iris, a kind of mint and other water plants I gathered....too messy for her....she is always wanting to dispose of my plants....since it isn't deep enough for fish I would turn it into a bog garden if left to me self!! Right now I am fighting some algae so it doesn't look very good....picked up some stuff for it tonight...hope it works.....

What I really want to do is get one of the big round stock tanks and turn it into a pond....with the depth and the steep sides could keep some fish without giving them all to the Racoons. It reminds of a big round Koi Pond in the middle of the entrance to one of the factories where we worked in Taiwan. I loved that pond!!

Well, this is one of those posts where it is a few hours later and I forgot to hit send.....I will catch up with everything else later..
