Well, figured i would sign up because i have questions regarding my pond... Started reading here and then realized that i believe i bought some plans from Dr. Dave if i can remember right.....

Anyhow i have a pond (no kidding?) that came with a house i just bought, being that i use to work in a garden center for years and the only thing i really enjoyed was the pond stuff i figured i would fix up this pond that came with my house... Started out as a big concrete hole, i bought some pumps/filters plants and fish and went to town. Decided the ugly waterfall that came on the pond wasnt functional so i rebuilt that too and added stone veneer around the top of the pond and the waterfall.

The fish love the pond, the plants dont. So far this is where i started and when i have gone with what i have... Really need some help to get this how i want it, as i have no clue what i am doing now.

Ok just tried again w/ enlarging the pics and now it works..........very pretty!

 

[j.w]

and now it doesn't..........something is rotten in Denmark,lol!

 

[sissy]

not sure what your doing jw but it works here

 

[j.w]

I click on the first pic and it shows up bigger and then I click on the 2nd and it starts to go bigger and then turns all black and then if I go right back to the first it now goes black. So it's an on again off again thing. Will go see if it does it to others that have posted pix.

 

[sissy]

I went back and forth on each pic with no problem

 

[j.w]

Too weird. I went to another post and all works fine consistently w/ all pics.

Welcome... Plants are fun but can be tempermental... Nice job on the pond. Looks wonderful. New to here also, but have already gotten tons of wonderful advise. Just make sure you do your research first before taking anything and running with it...
