Cool! So it was installed in the autumn, ours too. I got the 1st pond in 1995 for my birthday,I had asked for a water feature to attract birds. We now have 3 ponds and 2 streams. It is addicting. Did you fret during the winter? I did , was so eager to have life in there!

Looks wonderful! Nice & big

Yes it was the longest winter on record in our house.

We couldn't wait to get started with the plantings
Now I couldn't be more pleased with the results

I'm trying to find some pictures from when it first was put in.
A big thank you goes out to all the forum members here that helped us

with either filtering advice or potting mixture/fertilizer help
and all the wonderful plants we have received from everyone here

It is about 18 feet from end to end
12 feet across
almost 4 feet deep in the center
with the shelf being anywhere from 18 inches to 2 feet deep.
Here is the pond just after filling it at the beginnig of September last year

No wonder your neighbor wants to sit and look at it, you shouldn't have made it so beautiful.

Freddie Peepers · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2009, 03:14:16 PM »

Consider this an open invitation to all forum members:

Please come and sit by our pond anytime but you will have to get there early
to beat our neighbors to the best spot

no need to bring a newspaper cause there probably will be one there already

Nice looking ponds. Your lilies look very happy.
