What does your pond look like ... Today?

That is the one thing i hate ,less daylight

It's torture. Especially while it's still nice outside. There's so much more I could be doing outside if it weren't already dark.

My pond is looking lovely, I've got about 4 lilies in bloom and the pond is super clear. Now if it would just cool down a smidge so I could sit outside in the evening and enjoy it.

Sorry I hate heat worse

I do love my evenings on the front porch .I work outside all morning and then it gets hot and I am luck sun does not get up on the covered front porch until around 3 pm .So I sit out there for awhile enjoying the breeze and the sounds coming from the pond .I love it best when it is still daylight out at 9 pm and seems the sunsets are even prettier then .

I agree Sissy, We get Sun on the back patio until it clears the trees, usually 5ish. And then it's nice and shady until the sun goes down. I sit out there most mornings and drink coffee with my creatures and hubby. Evenings are usually the same once it cools down a tad. I'll sit out there but the creatures decline to join me.
Oh well, at least the fish keep me company.

The sun comes up on the back of my house and by 2 pm the decks are in almost all shade .But since the forest behind my house is pretty tall the sun does not get above the trees until almost 12 .

During the summer months the back deck is my favorite 'room' of the house. I do coffee in the morning and spend the evenings out there with my tablet to entertain me. Mid-day gets a bit hot, even under the gazebo covers. By the way my pond looks awesome today.

I prefer my front porch because of the views and the pond is right beside the porch .There 2 back deck barely used .1 is off the master bedroom and other is off the morning room .I bought the lots for the view .The back all I see is the woods

 

[tbendl]

I can't remember if I shared these or not. However, I DO HAVE A BLOOMIN' WH! I know it's a tiny bloom but it's alllll minnnnneeeee.

 

[sissy]

I have had lots of bloomers they love miracle grow .2 days in there and they really perk up and they say thank you and reward me with blooms .

 

[tbendl]

I'm afraid to do that with mine, afraid it will cause an algae bloom in the pond after putting them back in. You're are stunning.

You've got a little slice of heaven there sissy! I'm on a 1/4 ACRE!

 

[sissy]

by then they have sucked up the miracle grow and if you want you could put them in regular water before you put them back in the water .i have not had any problems and mine go from tank to pond .I even put some in the bird bath and the birds love it

 

[tbendl]

Hmmm maybe I'll try that this spring. How long do you leave them sitting in the miracle grow?

Thank you this was my retirement house 11 years ago moved here from NJ and bought 3 + acres for 5 thousand an acre and had a custom modular built and a basement and total cost with well and septic tank was around 1 hundred thousand .I said I was going to retire at 50 and actually did it 3 months before .I had a house and dirt and the rest was my blood sweat and tears .Then the building and landscaping started .I love to build things .in miracle grow it depends usually a week to make them really healthy .I just gave a bunch away last night and gave them 3 baby banana plants also .Then the storm hit and we finally got rain
