Hi all!

[newpondgal]

Hi everyone!  I'm new here and this is my first post.  I inherited a pond when my husband and I bought our home last year.  At first it was an annoyance and was more trouble than it was worth but I've come to really love it.  Our house needed a ton of work as well as the yard.  Now that it's all coming together my pond has become one of my hobbies.  I've added a some plants this year (pink lily, white lily, palm, bell flower, iris, water hydrangea, water clover and the submerged which I can't remember the name.  I bought 3 comets and two bunkys and after we lost a few I now have 1 comet, 2 bunkys and 3 babies one of which already turned orange and the other two are still black.  I also just had it cleaned and had the waterfall rebuilt to cascade a little.  It's a smaller pond about 7'x9'.  I need to figure out how to post photos as I have a few saved on my work comp.

Welcome to our world of addiction.  Ponding can really grow on you.

I started 10 years ago with a 35 gallon deck pond and now I have 5 8ft stock tanks.

I download my pics to photobucket and them just copy them here.  I know there is another way, but I don't remember how.

Welcome to ponding. In a year or so, your pond will be much LARGER, or there will be more than one.  It's a fact.

Hi Newpondgal-
Welcome!  I have had the opposite situation.  I moved from a home where we had built a 7500 gallon pond to now having a small "tub" garden.  My life doesn't seem complete without my hobby.  However, I am in the planning stages for new water garden that I plan to install next spring.  More to come on that subject!
