Here are new pix of the new grassy sedge that I put in to replace the giant Sweet Flag w/lawn grass that grew out the top and made it look ratchety! I know the sedge looks pretty much like the Sweet Flag but it's not. The sedge has skinnier leaves and no ugly lawn grass growing up in the middle. Sweet Flag was more yellow than green. I had that sedge growing in another part of my gardens so just dug it up and washed all the dirt off. It's now in a pot on top of another pot w/ a brick in the bottom pot so no tipping. My Mares tail is taking off this year at the bottom of photo. No more losing water out of pond either as rocks have all been adjusted w/liner pulled up out of the muck and redone over rocks. Filling up a bit now w/ more water to the brim.
Gator is tied to a rock so he can't escape!
Here is what it looked like before w/the old Sweet Flag below and gator gone wild. See the lawn grass in the middle of the Sweet Flag. Man I hated that when I first saw it coming up. The grass would all brown up and fall over in Winter and looked awful:
I finally got our hyacinth starts anchored along one edge. It should spread like crazy once the water warms a bit. View attachment 110863View attachment 110862
