A few more pics of some of the flowers in and around the pond. Water lettuce and hyacinths are doing really well this year, my one creek is almost a veggie filter.

Some updates of my waterfalls....

Close up view of one of the falls.

View from the top of the falls creek looking toward the pond.

This is how the falls look with all the elephant ears grown up.

This is how the falls look without all the elephant ears.

Here are some pics from a few years back of my vegetable garden....

This was the start of my bog building. I collected all the rock around here where they are doing construction, must have been about 6 or more truck loads, but they were all free. I dug down about 8" and built the wall up to get my desired height of about 18" total.

I was putting in the underlayment and liner. I bought a 60 mil liner for the bog since I was going to be putting in a ton of gravel didn't want anything poking a hole in it. Probably over kill. With the thicker liner it became more challenging to get the folds right.

I finally finished washing all the gravel and getting it put into the bog and finally turned it on for the first time. The last pic is how I diverted the flow from my filter to the bog. I put a Y in it and now the bog and filter each have their own shut off valve so that I can control the amount of flow to each one.

This is it when I just put all the plants in it that were given to me by some nice lady on this forum...The black 4" pots in the bog have hibiscus seeds in them..
