New front puddle
« on: July 18, 2010, 05:30:22 PM »
My daughter's neighbor had a preform pond, pump,and turtle spitter he no longer wanted, it had been sitting by the side of his garage for 3 years, well last year I told her if he didn't want it I would take it off his hands and he said sure.  He asked me for $30 thought that was a very fair deal.  Well this year(June) I finally got around to putting it in, pond #5.  First I had to dig out 4 wheelbarrels full of Lily of the Valley and just as many Violets that had taken over the area I wanted to dig.  I hauled them all to the back woods and transplanted them, and they are all doing fine.  Then I started digging, took me most of the month of June what with the rain and a bad case of pneumonia, but I finnished before July.  Got it all mulched, planted some filler plants and popped in some lilies from the Lily Pond.  I had a lotus die on me in the lily pond and had taken out the pot, well I found tadpoles and baby goldfish fry that I netted out and put in the front puddle also.....and now 3 frogs have also taken up residence.  Not much but thought I'd post a picture.

Great corner!  All you need now is a seating area to enjoy your pond.

Zydia, somewhere here there are some, but they are probably a few years old, if I get a chance in the next few days I will try to get some new ones on......See you are in WI also, where abouts?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments....I needed a little white water noise in the front, I neglect those gardens cause it is quiet and boreing, now I have more of a reason to be in the front, and it makes for a nice welcome near the front door. 
Kim, I do keep busy and nights with my farm amigos is great......got a clean bill of health from the dr. today chest xray looks good he said....been a long month.
