Pond - April 2008

do you have fish in your pond?

No fish. I don't think that I want to get into them. I'm planning on getting a few water Hyacinths latter on.

Is that Heron New Mikec?

I've had him for a couple years. He was in the flower bed by the side of the house.

I also added a turtle to the left front in this photo. Fogot abot him until just now when i spotted him in the photo.

Great Pic! love it. Can't wait to see it in a months time.

Your pond really turned out great !

seen the turtle, i have a few of them around the pond. he looks good there

Love the turtle and I'm glad you moved the heron here. Looks great. Don't get too many water hyacinths because in no time you'll probably have way too many ! They multiply really fast. Maybe you can sell them.

its looking great.............

If you want water hyacinths, just check my trash bin in summer. I have to thro out tons of them in the summer. Illegal to sell them here.but I could send them to you free.

It's a shame that you can't buy them in South Carolina. I have a friend in Texas and the hyacinths are illegal there too. Here in Massachusetts you can buy them at any nursery that sells pond plants and they are very inexpensive. I guess the reason that they haven't banned them here is because there really isn't any way that they can become invasive as they would not survive the winter if left out in a pond.
