Japonese (mini) garden, things coming on : )

wow thats coming on really well, love the acer over the water. looks like the lily is happy in there too. and your trolley rocking garden is really rocking!!

your plants grows healthier, so attractive:-))

been looking at some of my pots to see if i could do similar, lovely to see water in the garden i think.

I moved it forward a bit to give it more room and put the acer on a brick so it dangled over the water better. If a japanese monk walked by now he'd feel right at home I'm sure

Now you got me thinking Stevie - maybe I should move my pots from my front garden to my patio? hmmmmm....
Lovely space, really.

I can nearly see him praying there!
It works so well.
Any buds on the lily? I like those grasses too.

I need to get some of those little snails that eat algae as well
no lily is still settling in nicely

I can't see any algae, has it got some? Are the snails easy to get! Internet snails??

hmm there is a bit in there, so need to get something that munches it

perhaps lulu has some??

Looking lovely Stevie...

I got way too many of those in my garden - will be happy to send a parcel;-)

you 'know' what i mean the ickle munchy fishtank type of deals

I 'know' Stevie - just feel bad when using those granules... Wanted to get rid of them in a nice way, lol.

Love this corner!

going out for some fishtank snail thingys tomorrow

you could give each of them a name and do a snail blog??

The social workers went for the full sectioning of the man going by the name of 'Clem man' when after several day staring into an old pot full of murky water dress as a samurai he started shouting 'Leave my mini snails alone, they all have their own unique personalities you know''

Clem Man contemplates the meaning of life ~ from a snail's perspectve!!! and slithers on in a glorious silver trail ...................to the apocalypse!!!

a plague of mini snails heralds...

i remember the plague of frogs [but no snails in sunday school that i remember!!!]

You wont find treatment for snails at the Fish Tank shop
Stevie. They have been stopped selling it.
I just keep pressing them against the side of my tank.
They disappear for a week or two, then come back.
Best way to prevent Algae is to put a cover over your water when its hot and sunny.
