Okay, here is the before and after. My first time trimming it, is it okay?

Been working on a few plantings and waiting for my pond plants grow!

Some lilies from last weekend.

Your pond looks so perfect 79 and those plants are gonna grow so nice for you and make it look even nicer. Love those lily blooms and pretty fish and all your rocks!

So pretty.

Thanks JW, work in progress! Still want to plant more around the edges. All the river rock I have, surrounding 2 sides of the pond, I'm discovering is a weed seed catch all! So rethinking that. Wondered about removing the rock and using mulch? Not sure yet. Also thought about turning the planting area in the center picture into a bog. Would be a perfect place but I also like the plants and walkway. HMMMM

Looks good Sissy! Fishies look very happy. I love humming birds..

awesome!

I planted some Coral Bells by my pond since my grandma gets a lot of hummingbirds by them and sure enough I had one here yesterday going to all the coral bell flowers. Didn't even go up to the hummingbird or oriole feeders.

great pictures everybody! I love looking at all the different ponds and fish.

@haver79 Would you mind showing some closer photos of your stock tank? I need to get a better feel for how these are set up. Is that green crate always on your water fall? How is it set up?

I think with mulch you would have the same problem haver .my neighbor used the rubber mulch and it seems to work OK .

I know you don't want to use poison to kill the weed seeds but did you know you can spray straight white vinegar on those weeds on a hot sunny day..............has to be on a hot sunny day as it burns the heck out of them better that way. We use it on our gravel driveway to the shop. Be careful w/ it around your grass or plants tho as it will kill them also.
