What does your pond look like ... Today?

[callingcolleen1]

I hate you guys with your clear water and awesome ponds. Put in the fire pit area. Still a WIP but getting closer to completion-...ish. View attachment 110690 View attachment 110688 View attachment 110689 View attachment 110687

Your pond is still very beautiful and the green water will protect your fish from the evil blue heron. Things will clear up over time. Years ago we all suffered with green water but it will balance and once you get the algae to grow on the liner and rocks then usually the pea green water goes away and then we all get some string alage. Nothing ever perfect but there are natural treatments that work good. Good luck and stay positive, we are here to help as well.

View attachment 110680 I don't think I have ever posted my pond on this thread before. I honestly have not posted pics of my large pond in a year or more. So here ya go. Looking forward to my lillies finally filling in. View attachment 110678 View attachment 110679 View attachment 110682 View attachment 110681 View attachment 110683

That is a beautiful pond and the plant variety in and around it is amazing excellent work.

Here's my pond tonight.

The Marsh Marigolds have seen better days. It won't be long before my favorite early-spring plant is done blooming.

I found this Wild Geranium seedling growing in the bog today. I wouldn't expect it to survive in these conditions, so I'll be moving it out to the native garden, where I'm trying to grow more woodland plants.

Getting the rocks on top of the liner.

Easy to see the need for a great (DIY) skimmer lol.

Cloudy day makes for a dark pond but here's my first almost full pond photo of the year.

Love the look and the dock with the thick rope is a nice touch. Beautiful pond.

My pond looks bare today. Yesterday I slaved over getting the giant Sweet Flag outta there. I had to get into the pond and cut and saw it all into pieces. Took hours of little by little hacking. It was just way too big and had lawn grass growing up through the middle which annoyed me so bye bye and I will use a different type of plant. Not sure I will be able to use the same pedestal planter. Will depend on if I can get the rest of the old plant outta the pot.Stirred up the water something awful so all is green so no photos!

The pond isn't going to look the same without the sweet flag @j.w . I look forward to some pics!

I'm gonna put another kind of drooping leaved plant in place of it but it will take awhile to fill in as that Sweet Flag was in there forever!
