I've been traveling on and off for over 2 months. My parents took care of the pond during this time which really just consisted of feeding the fish and making sure the water was running but not overflowing. My mom takes care of pretty much all the terrestrial plants anyways but insists that my aquatic plants are too different for her to handle lol. Anyway, not to brag but when I walked into my backyard I was literally breathless at how amazing it looks! As humans we can be so hard on ourselves and critical of our own work but spending a solid 3 weeks away and seeing it like it was the first time ever really made me appreciate how beautiful my yard has become. Pictures never seem to do it justice but here you go!
First view
To the left, my bog gardens. Just dug down and liner placed with a few holes to keep it nice and wet but not full of water. These need to be thinned!
First cattail punks!
Now heading towards the pond
This is the closest pic of the stream for now cause it is FULL of algae because of my absensence.
Next day pics for open lilies
These peaches one don't translate to photo well, they are HUGE bigger than my manly hands!
Overall shot, best I can get anyways
And just a little randomness
Took a short video of the fish cause pics never come out well. I like to think they missed me but they were just hungry.
