What does your pond look like ... Today?

[addy1]

When I net the bottom of the pond, fall or spring, I pull a lot of it up, sort it out, toss it back in. I do not trim it, do not cut, basically do nothing to it. It lays there does whatever it feels like doing and regrows.

The stream pond looked like a dead mess once the ice cube melted, within a few days you could see new growth starting up. I was going to pull some of it out, but then waited it out, it all grew and grew great.

You can see how gross the pond looked before it started growing. All looked dead or rotted, some growth to the right side of the picture. This is a shallow fishless pond that does freeze up solid.

Well, I guess I keep over-thinking it. Ha!
Thanks.

This is a shot at around 2 feet down, the aracharnis is hanging out near the lily pots. It was there over winter, just not as pretty.

My Sweet Woodruff is blooming. The plants themselves look like they're dying. I'm not sure what's going to happen to them. They're actually a shade plant and I've had them in full sun for 3 years. They might not be able to handle it this year.

Last night relaxing, waiting for my Bridge to come in the mail lol

My tiny lily has sent buds to the surface twice now. Both times during the early part of the week which means it opens after I leave for work, closes before I get home, and sinks before the weekend. I had to get my daughter to go outside and send me a picture since I had no idea what color it was... I think it's gorgeous! And uh, yes that is the pot sitting on the bottom that you can see.. Water is clearing!! Woop Woop!

went down for the mail and look what I found in my driveway .It is a misty rain and the dry spot is right in the middle of the drive way near the bottom

 

[addy1]

You have a heart! I knew it! way cool Sissy

Yeah tbendl, great looking lily flower.

LOL Addy, of course it is, it started out as one of yours! I just talked to Lisa and she confirmed that it originally came from you.
I fear I'm going to have to rename my pond addy2 since just about everything green and growy in it came from you.

Everything falling in pond from trees again today. Sick of tree litter! Going to do more chopping!!

My net is broken and I lost it somewhere around here. Got to get new net today on my list of things to do on my only day off.

Irises are blooming on south side and things are greening up nicely.

Yellow flag getting very big now!
