What does your pond look like ... Today?

Several of my lilies need repotted. Is it too late in the season to do it?

I re pot when they need it, tend to leave them alone this time of year since it does set them back a little. But if they need it do it, won't kill them.
If I have time I do a repot in the fall, then they have all winter to grow roots and they take off in the spring.

I chopped mine hard last spring, so no need to repot yet. I did find one in my small preform that jumped its pot and took over the pond!

It's cloudy and in the sixties today - a welcome break from months of heat.

looking great tbendl and love the stepping stones ,makes it lots easier to walk all the way around the pond

Thanks Sissy, I like them too, I'd like to add some around the back of the bog so I can completely walk around it in the morning without getting my toes wet.
We've also talked about adding another patio area off the back so we can put a swinging chair in. I'd love to sit and read there since it gets great afternoon shade.

Thank you Red. This was one of those mornings that the pictures make you go "my pond actually looks like that?" Woohoo

I love my swings 2 I built and 1 was given to me and the last one I got on the end of the year sale for 55 dollars at walmart .I also built 1 for my sister .

Pictures Sissy? I'd like something that will withstand the weather and the one's I've seen at Lowe's are so flimsy and cheesy looking. I'd love to possibly build one myself.

You can buy the whole swing kit from lowes or home depot about 80 dollars and it comes with the metal connectors for the frame and all you need to buy is the 4x4's and you can buy or build a swing .I have built several of them with out a pattern .The one on the front porch was the walmart one and needs a new top .I will have to take new pics since i lost some of them when my old puter died .I took the swing down on the driveway one last night when winds kicked up .
