Thank you!
I need to shoot another one for our friend in Sweden with my Corvette in it. This was a test since I did not have a You Tube account before. My yard actually has a lot more to offer.

And all this time I thought it was the Brits that had the neat accents;)

Beautiful yard Dr. Dave. I've always told my hubby that grass was overrated. You just have to mow it. Fill it with ponds and gardens is my philosophy!
The warmth of the sun for pardon
The song of the birds for mirth
One's closest to God's heart in a garden
Than anyplace else on earth!

Very nice setup you have there:biggrin:. I wish i could send over some of this rain we have been getting. Just one question, how the heck do you get your floaters to grow so well? My fish eat the roots in no time flat :). You would think that they don't get fed everyday.

Yup I read up on that koiguy, just trying to keep it looking natural as possible. Plus I guess if the fish are happy and healthy snacking on the roots then i'll justhave to deal with it or put in another fishless upper pond for them;)

Very nice DrDave, you have quite the garden there. Like your walkways and how you have to turn the corner to see whats next.

I like the arborvities (?) next the the falls from your bio filter too. It makes it look as if a hill is there and it actually just a bush.
