I'm Finally Doing It!!!

Oh yes that mix of plants that you have in your bigger pond will look very nice in your small pond also. The yellow flowered plant that creeps is called Creeping Jenny and some also call it Creeping Charlie. The green w/red tinge are Sedums that spread. The rocks that you have will work just fine too.

I didn't know Creeping Jenny would flower! THat's neat!

I'm wondering if it will flower in the spot I will be placing it as it does not get a great amount of sun. I have been told by a coworker that creeping jenny likes morning sun and afternoon/evening shade. This spot gets virtually no morning sun and just a few hours of afternoon sun depending on time of year. So like everything else it will be trial and error experimentation.

I've already got some sitting in my shopping cart on tricker.com as well as some water poppy to try out. Just waiting on my wife to pick out a new water lily to try out this year.

@Rowland Moffatt all you can do is try it and it is still nice when it is just the green vines.

Retaining wall between patio and pond is complete. Cement and adhesive is drying. Time to work on moss rock boarders.

Moss rock complete. Made some of my ledges a little thin which created some issues. Added some cement under the liners in areas to add support on the ledges and let it dry over night. Patio area is fully tampered down now and ready for landscape fabric and flagstone to be layed down. Also got my pump in the mail yesterday evening.

It's coming together and the fun part comes when you get to decorate w/the plants and add the fish. You will be re-adjusting stuff forever tho, it's just a fact that comes w/pondering as I'm sure you already know

Flag stone layed out and foundation in. Just need to go through and level everything.
