marsh marigolds

Yours are way ahead of mine.

Denise i was surprised to see them come so quickly, although we have had quite alot of sun and the pond gets it all, even my pond lily is coming up with leaves i noticed today. nice to see you to :o))

They look lovely Sandra...ours have just started so hope mine will look this good in a couple of days....

thanx maureen they do brighten things up, i may have to split this one as the roots are so long ebneath the basket after just a year, im sure yours will look great to maureen, post pic when they open please :o)

Love yellow plants/flowers....the sun really has helped your pond plant to put on a great show and plenty of growth in a year!

They are gorgeous Sanbaz. Pond areas are my favourite part of any garden. We had to put a new liner in ours this year, which was good and bad,...good because it really needed a good sort out, plants splitting, bottom cleaning etc. But bad because it will take a couple of years to get to maturity again. :)

thanx jacquie i love yellow for brightening the garden to, not sure if my other pond plants have come through winter, time will tell :o))
thanx judy, i know what you mean about yours, but at least its fixed and will give you years more pleasure, im hoping i get some new frogs this year after all mine dying over winter, but i must make some frog houses for next winter. ;o)

Good idea about the frog house....how will you do it ? Will have a go too :)

Lovely, waiting for my water soldiers to come up, can see them near the bottom of pond.

mine are all leaves at the moment.... have you seen your water soldiers sandra... i can see baby ones starting to grow.... do you know if you have to take the old ones out or not.... will be nice to see them come up again clarice....

judy you can use plant pots half buried on their side so there is a bit of dirt and leaves in, facing away from cold winds, then in winter cover with leaves on top if very cold, or make wooden ones, make sure a good size so they can hide to the back where warmer, hard to explain but hope you get the idea ;o)
carol i can see mine to and seems more, little ones so look ok and should come back up soon i hope , my lily is getting stems coming up to ;o)
holly i guess you can take the old ones out if the babies have roots but im leaving mine in as they look ok and shade my fish from the sun and preditors lol ;o))

Thanks Sanbaz. Will try it :)

i will have to see what there like when they get a bit bigger...

holly i found lots of baby one this week so left them for now, but may detatch them when weather better as pond looking rather full, also my oxygenating plant has gone mad lol

my pond is rather full as well...: O ))

may thin plants out if they keep growing at this rate, or we wont see the fishies ;o)
