I just finished it yesterday. Not entirely pleased with those waterfalls, but--given the location and what I have to work with--I think I've done about all I can do. Hey, my husband likes it, and it doesn't leak! :D Now for the fun part--planting!
New Pond In Progress
Wonderful--remember to post some pics please. If it doesn't leak its a perfect pond.
Oh yes planting around the pond is the fun part. I'm sure it will be beautiful.
Did I mention don't forgrt pics. We are a curious lot and always seeking new ideas.
Bonnie
Okay, I will. I need to finish up the pathway and get the nutsedge out of there, and then I'll take some.
If I waited to take pictures until after everything was weeded, I'd never post any pictures, we like works in progress.
LOL. Okay. I will post some later today.
BEEN A YEAR THIS MONTH SINCE WE PUT IN LARGER POND. TOMORROW YOUNGEST SON AND HIS SON ARE COMING OVER TO CLEAN IT AND FIX PLANTS. CONSIDERING WHILE CLEANING OLD POND I LOST ALL THE FISH EXCEPT 3 WE WILL MOVE SOME SMALLER ONES BACK TO OLD POND. I'M NOT BUYING ANY FISH RIGHT NOW. I HAVE MORE EXPENCE COMING TRYING TO CLEAN POOL WHICH HAS REALLY BEEN AN ALGAE PROBLEM THIS SUMMER.
I'VE GOT MICROBLIST PL AND PONDZYME A PLENTY SO THAT SHOULD WORK ALONG WITH CLEANING ALL THE FILTER PADS IN WATERFALL & SKIMMERS. POND IS JUST A LITTLE BROWN BUT I LIKE SEEING ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM SO CLEANING IS IN ORDER.
AFTER ITS CLEANED MAYBE I CAN GET OSME DECENT PICS OF THE FISH. I WILL TRY.
HAPPY PONDING ALL.
BONNIE
Looking forward to pictures, Bonnie.
How is your eye doing?
Bonnie, let me get back in town...I have some replacement fish for you. Hope your new eyes will make the world look amazing! :)
Yep Carolyn, I agree....we need more pics overall!
Four lilies blooming. We are still experiencing flooding but when it's not raining the weeds are easy to pull.
Guys cleaned out larger pond and I put microblift & pondzyme in and today its very clear. Just in case I'll clean all filters again.
Mary looking forward to seeing you. Right eye surgery is this Tuesday. Can't wait to get both of them working tog. Left eye pain is almost gone but it still waters a lot. Time wil heal it.
Our bright sun really bothers it but I don't go out and work in sun right now.
Mittsy your lillies are just beauitiful.
Will try to get some pictures of fish soon.
Bonnie
Here are a few pics of fish in larger pond and a couple of the smaller ones in old pond.
Wow, the water is really clear. Nice!
Note blondie is carrying eggs and also turning white after 5 years.
Last ones. Last 2 pics are smaller fish in old pond.
First one is second set is Blondie. I'm hoping she drops those eggs. I remember what happend to Merry Mary's large gold one. Also in sec. set 3rd. pic I hope you can see how much larger the asagy has grown. That ones markings are real good.
They ate up all the water celery I had so I'm trying to get what little bit is left to root and grow again.
Charlie bought some peas for them. Cherrios is really their favorite treat. They get some everyday after they eat their koi food.
There not spoiled just loved.
Bonnie
Goodness Bonnie! LOVE Blondie! I can't believe how big your fish are getting! They're beautiful!
