yeppa, very good job! I did have one question; in the second to last pic (ending in #43), are you casting something using cement? Sort of looks like the bottom of a bird bath bowl. And if not, what is it and what's if for? You ain't gonna put this in the pond upside down for Shelly to stand on,are ya?
It's the top of the filter, that i camouflage with polystyrene and cement, right now is filled with torba and is the place of my Sarracenias.yeppa, very good job!

do they replicate very fast? I bet in time, you'll be able to spread them out and if Buddy DOES misbehave, you'll still have others to take their place. I had some turtle damage to a water poppy last summer; broke off leaves and it took forever to grow back. Never bloomed and I was disappointed; won't have it next summer, will try something else. Maybe some frogbit as you showed me in your pic.

HEY! You weren't SUPPOSED to show the Super Boss! That was our SECRET ninja fish, DIME! Sheesh! How we gonna sneak any honey out of the GPF fridge without her knowin' now? Ya know, makin' this 'knight-in-training' stuff more difficult by the day...sigh...now we have to teach one of the riding koi NOT to sneeze when we're in the halls, and give our position away! I had HIGH hopes for Mask...well, that idea's shot to hell....

'our ninja army'...ah, Dime? Are you privy to the Budget Committee of GPF? You know, they're often sleeping in their chair whenever a vote comes up, ESPECIALLY when matters turn to funding the OTG! I fear nepotism has run amok! Thank God we still gots lil Queenie here on our side now! Then again, she IS the one requesting the honey most of the time, aaaannnnnnnddddd, the one I see with the sticky spoons all laying around...hmm, a pattern here, I wonder????

Actually I'm not really much of a honey eater as I try to stay away from all sugars...........................I don't always win that battle tho as I am addicted to sweets! Sticky spoons laying about, yes might mean something corrupt is happening my friend. I fear it has something to do w/an outside source tho not part of our crew! Eyes wide open boys and take notes of who is sneaking around in here
