Do you currently have a garden pond?

I was wondering how many of us currently have a garden pond or are just looking into it.

I already have a pond that I dug myself. It has water lillies, floating 'lettuce,' iris on the edge, koi and frogs. I also constructed a little waterfall feature on the end.

I have a small pond that my husband put in for me. It came as a $50.00 kit from Walmart. I added a filter and a water fall, and now I've got a great place to unwind after work.

Thats awesome. What do you have the pond stocked with?

Wow, you have a pond that you paid $50 for except for the filter and waterfall? That sounds like an amazing deal. Was it hard to find a pump to fit your pond?

Yup 50 bucks, and my husband provided all the labor. I did pay over a hundred for the filter and about 50 for the pump, I got both of those on-line.

50 sounds like the best bargain ever garden-pond wise. Do you ahve any pictures?

Here's one of my favorite's. It's from last year hench the water lettuce. Note the small frog.

what are these exactly?

Water lettuce is a great floating plant, that really helps to keep the water clean. Unfortunately it became illegal this year to have it in CT.
