What does your pond look like ... Today?

[JBtheExplorer]

I was doing some work around the pond today. Nothing visible in the pics, but over the past few weeks, I've removed more non-native plants including the daylilies I had along the pond. Today, I planted about 20 Blue-eyed Grasses around the edge of the pond, plus the 10-15 I added a few weeks ago. I'm hoping they fill in nicely next year.

Meanwhile, the waterlilies are dying off quickly. This photo might not show that, but it's really thinning out.

I'm glad to hear your pond weathered the storm, Sissy. Things really looked nasty in the southeast.

We lucked out down in Florida and here, neither place got damage. Here we barely even got rained on.

It is still really windy here .They sometimes gust now to 55and 60 mph as per the Axton weather tower at the post office about 3 miles from my house and it got really chilly out and wind makes it feel colder .Thank you troutredds ,I can't complain as I am doing a lot better then some of the states .My poor brother in Norfolk has no clue what to do with the fish that got washed into his swimming pool.Fish dinner maybe every night .

Pond water dropped to 58 we were cool and windy yesterday.

low 80's, water feature coming along.

 

[sissy]

Well 40 degrees this morning but getting up to mid 70's at least that is what they are saying .Water is at 68 degrees in the pond by one of the thermometers and other one say 62 degrees but it was near the waterfall pond .I love your waterfall tbendl

Thanks Sissy, it is coming along nicely. Well, I am at least beyond the "what the hell was I thinking" stage and have moved into the "man I wished it was a bit bigger" stage. :LOL

I made more of my plant pockets for a fellow new ponder

Wonderful to see the new waterfall, T! You can always increase the flow rate in the future if desired.

Red, I have a second pump just waiting for funds to purchase a second filter. The flow rate is much better with 2 pumps going to it. Although sadly not quite a full stream of water going over the front rock, but a lovely sound and the top fall flows nicely.. When I get it plugged in next time I'll take a picture.

I'm getting ready to make a few more of these for rocks soon! I just love your idea Sissy and have a few throughout the pond.

I bought rolls of window screening at habitat for humanity for 2 dollars a roll and cost 9 dollars at lowes .The leaf has been curing in the basement for over 2 months .If you are using them for rocks I would double or triple the window screening
