Good Morning Patty,

Know what I went and did? I bought a 50 gallon preformed plastic pond the other day. Lowe's sent me a $10.00 gift card and I had to think up what to buy with it.

My brother has been talking about doing a pond, so I was inspired. This one is a kidney shape with a shelf in it for putting pots to keep their feet wet.

I will only bury it half way plus a bit, keep it as a still water, throw in some oxygenating plants and a few small feeder goldfish. I'm thinking about putting it back in that corner in the shade area. It should help cut down on algae growth and there are already some EE's back in there which should end up bordering the pond, if I work it right. I just have to situate it so I don't have to dig up too many things to fit it in.

Now that I look again at the shade area, which is growing by leaps and bounds, I guess I better plant that pond right where it is. No room behind it in that corner there.

But, I have lots of room now for more bog iris!!!!!

Molly
